Critic Reviews
Show All-
LOUDER
OC metalcore stalwarts Atreyu seek a new chorus of approval with In Our Wake.
-
NEW NOISE
the band has not released an overall solid effort since 2006’s A Death Grip on Yesterday, and In Our Wake is barely much of an exception.
-
Netal Nexus
every song on the album has its own personality and is just as impressive as any other on the album.
-
anti hero
there are life-lessons, understood emotions that were misunderstood before, questions that are closer to being answered, and a rise of confidence that only comes with the grind experienced by the spiritual beings having a human experience that ATREYU is having.
-
Metal Injection
It is a solid reflection of the growth and evolution of the group over the past few years.
-
DISTORTED SOUND
Long gone are the days of songs soaked in guttural screams with songs about partying, in are songs with emotional weight and vocal diversity to keep it interesting.
-
KILLYOURSTEREO.COM
those weaker tracks (‘No Control’, ‘Terrified’, ‘The Time Is Now’ and ‘Nothing Will Ever Change’) hold back what is otherwise a decent album from a good, consistent longstanding metalcore band.
-
DEAD PRESS
If you want an album full of guttural screams and metalcore riffing, which to many is their signature sound, chances are this probably isn’t going to scratch that itch.
-
GHOST CULT
The record is broken out into the first half as a heavier, aggressive side and the last half a more melodic, progressive sound but all in all a memorable record.
-
sputnik music
Not a complete cock-up, but this is easily Atreyu's weakest.
-
exclaim!
When a metal band's own press release contains the words "Disneyland meets E.L.O.," there's cause for concern.
-
METAL TEMPLE
If you love old ATREYU, or even 2015’s Long Live, then you may want to skip this album. If you’ve never heard ATREYU before (have you been living under a rock?) then you can probably get into this album fairly easily.
-
CRYPTIC ROCK
There is anger and understanding, hope and hypocrisy throughout the stories of In Our Wake, all coming together to formulate a great record with some truly superb moments.
-
The Sound Board
In Our Wake is hard to outright hate as opposed to appreciate for what it is.
-
I'm Music Magazine
this is some of Atreyu’s best work to date.
-
RUSH ON ROCK
For a 20 year old band to be consistently making and breaking the mould shows great dedication to their work.
-
Decibel Geek
All in all, another great album from the Atreyu boys, filled with hints of a new direction but not enough to lose any old fans.
-
ALL MUSIC
In Our Wake leans harder on the melodic hard rock side of the equation, delivering huge choruses, rousing gang vocals, and flawless guitarmonies, with the occasional djenty, palm-muted riff and neck-snapping double kick-drum blast tossed in for good measure.
-
The Musical Hype
“In Our Wake” won’t necessarily change your life, but it’s a respectable, enjoyable metal record.
-
Ultimate Guitar
Atreyu's next foray into a pop-influenced metal sound in "In Our Wake" is shamelessly packed with elements that provide cheap heat, and devoid of an impressive instrumental performance that was one of the band's strong suits in the past.
-
BLABBERMOUTH
In the end, "In Our Wake" doesn't just reaffirm ATREYU's legacy, it expands it like never before.
-
MADNESS TO CREATION
What you’re going to get is a band that writes authentic songs and a band that has allowed themselves to naturally evolve as musicians.
-
The Front Row Report
n Our Wake is already one of my favorite releases of 2018 and I cannot wait to see some of these songs played live.
-
HEAVY
In Our Wake is a complex album that sees Atreyu really take a huge step forward.
-
CoS
With each choice made you leave a ripple that reflects across your community, then onto your city, to your nation, and eventually all across the globe. Who do you leave in your wake?”
-
shockwave
Atreyu has such a cosmically unique sound that they become one of those bands where even the lesser known tracks on their albums are still utter gold.
-
JAMMING WAVE
“In Our Wake”, refers to all the things we left behind in our lives. Either if they are good or bad, we always left some mark.
-
Discovered Magazine
The album as a whole seems softer with only elements of that heavier sound.
-
ZRockR
for a band who claims to have invented metalcore, this was anything but.
-
byte
The album is full of three-minute songs that sound exactly the same featuring boring melodic choruses and a sound that is desperately trying to stay relevant.
-
GRIMM
Take something form the old, combine it with new, and you get this piece of art.
-
The Spinning Thoughts
There are heavy riffs, catchy, singable chorus lines, and attention-grabbing group vocals and chants, a signature of the band that makes their live shows a ton of fun to be part of.
-
Away From Life (translated)
they break all boundaries and add many more influences to their songs.
-
NOIZZE
You get a sense here that as a whole In Our Wake tries to pay tribute to the long spanning career of Atreyu, there's a heap of nostalgia embedded in the albums core.
-
Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
Just basically sounds diluted, ready for the right type of audience which clearly isn’t me.
-
NEW FURY MEDIA
In Our Wake probably isn’t Atreyu’s best overall album – that title still goes to The Curse. However, there are some truly exceptional tracks that are undoubtedly likely to become live staples.
-
Markus' Heavy Music Blog
‘In Our Wake’ became a powerful and entertaining album that helps the band to widen their fanbase – for the good and the bad.
-
This is Not a Scene
Look, maybe this is just me using my old man voice again, but of all the bands I would expect to put out a record like In Our Wake, the last one would be Atreyu. Shinedown, possibly, Papa Roach, definitely, but not Atreyu.
-
Staccato
The band covers many feels and emotions, a little nu-Metal is creeping in at some moments.
-
S.B.G.
In Our Wake shows a further departure from the typical patterns of “classic” metalcore.
-
ROCK SINS
In Our Wake is an underwhelming entry in their canon.
-
Media Mike
Atreyu fans will certainly want to add “in Our Wake” to their collection as nearly every song on the album has potential to dominate the charts and your playlist.
-
HI-FI WAY: THE POP CHRONICLES
It’s the album Avenged Sevenfold should’ve made two albums ago, it’s that good. So pretty triumphant then.
-
Offering Webzine
“In Our Wake” might not sound extremely innovative all the time with the massive amount of super accessible and often repetitive radio friendly tunes but it cannot be denied that Atreyu has definitely mastered a signature modern style that can appeal to a wider audience.
-
Heavy Music HQ
an album packed with accessible and melodic songs.
