A.V. Club
It’s the rare, rare reunion album that’s shoulder to shoulder with what came before it, standing on the band’s solid catalog instead of trying and failing to start the climb anew

It’s a cavalcade of art-metal yin and yang that’s as impressively irreverent as anything they put out 20 years ago

Sol Invictus isn't perfect, and it's not their best work, but Faith No More creaking with a little rust and blinking cobwebs is still a glorious thing

Sol Invictus is a solid Faith No More album. The only real mystery is quite why it took them 18 years to make it

Sol Invictus is the least enticing of the band’s releases; it carries all of the weaknesses of their last record, Album of the Year, without any of the strong singles
