  1. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Old fellas they may be, but the Melvins’ capacity for demented glee remains happily undimmed
    Read Review

  2. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    Some of this material resurrects the sneering, punkier spirit of early Melvins. Other cuts, e.g. "City Dump," are riff-tastic chunks of Sabbath-infused art metal that could slot timelessly anywhere in the group's dependably superb discography

  3. 7.0 |   All Music

    Even after 30 years, the Melvins are still as brash as ever

  4. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Tres Cabrones churns with the urgency and fire of a much younger band

  5. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Yet another example of the Melvins’ mischievous musical enthusiasm and ability to triumph over the rock star flare-outs, reunion cash-grabs, and stale maturity that have plagued other veterans of the Seattle scene

  6. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Melvins fans and fans of experimental rock, novelty songs and the classic punk style that never took itself too seriously will find a lot to love in Tres Cabrones

  7. 6.0 |   NME

    The Melvins have made so many better albums that it would be scandalous to recommend this one
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Stomps with enough sulphurous, slothful might to satisfy the faithful. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Re-establishes them as a superior hybrid of Sabbath and Black Flag. Print edition only
