Michael Nelson does a great job. His current review of Deafheaven is EXCELLENT

Check the new Kvelertak ~ Meir ~ if you have not.
It'll blow your metal loving mind. Easily bests the other big three for me.

Overall reviews are still very positive. The composite is being brought down by this review: AV Club = the lowest.

Way off on this review. This is really pretty brilliant. Think: Gutter Twins, Soulsavers, 1st Twilight Singers. Overall composite ratings are still very good: check Metacritic.
