Critic Reviews
Show All-
Loudwire
It's slickly produced with upbeat songs that you'll find yourself humming or singing along with, whether you want to or not.
-
Strife the Magazine
Undeniably gothic and brilliantly produced.
-
Louder Sound
Is this record fun to listen to? It has its faults, but yes, yes it is.
-
Overdrive Magazine
I think that Black Veil Brides’ Vale is an album that can truly appeal to a wide audience and can satisfy many, many people.
-
The Sound Board
Vale shows how Black Veil Brides are becoming one of the most one-dimensional acts mainstream rock has to offer.
-
Sputnik Music
An album like this has all of the ingredients needed to ensure massive success while simultaneously being a masterful piece of musical artwork.
-
The Guardian
However, there’s still plenty to satisfy the hardcore audience of socially disenfranchised, sullen, kohl-eyed teens.
-
The Young Folks
I wish that the album could have a little more experimentation or a little bit more difference from song to song.
-
Richer Sounds
The band has come a long way in a very short time, and Biersack has shown wisdom way beyond his years in regards to social issues and his responsibilities to his fans.
-
Pure Grain Audio
Vale is a superbly well-rounded addition to the varied discography for Black Veil Brides, with more flawless production and haunting instrumentation.
-
Get Rocked
Overall, Vale is an album that proves that Black Veil Brides have talent but don’t really apply themselves to do anything other than spinning the same wheel they’ve running on for years.
-
The Re.vu
It’s definitely a fun album filled with plenty of great hooks and shout-along choruses, but it comes across as safe from time to time and lacks daring risks.
-
Liverpool Sound and Vision
A great beat, the mixture of homely Ohio sentiment but wrapped in the underneath of the Hollywood sign; not forgotten, not out of sight, but waiting patiently
-
Dead Press UK
Ultimately, it falls into the trap of sounding like the same song rehashed multiple times, making it, overall, a fairly forgettable listen.
-
College Media Network
Every song on the album fits together nicely.
-
Refrain Music
Vale in Latin means “be strong, be well” and this is a strong metal edged rock album that is well produced, recorded and performed…check it out!
-
Infectious Magazine
Vale is an album that fans will enjoy and haters to hate, but at the same time, still deserves overwhelming the attention it gets.
-
GBHBL
This is the sound of a band not even trying to come up with something memorable. This is the sound of complacency.
-
The Musical Hype
Vale is a sound comeback album from Black Veil Brides. The most positive attributes of the album include the distinct vocals.
-
Immortal Reviews
Failing to make a big impact and coming off as largely inconsequential.
-
Share Music, Spread Love.
Andy Biersack has an incredible voice and a lot of their songs are catchy and sing-songy.
-
STARS AND SCARS
Black Veil Brides have continued to stay true to their glam rock roots. Vale’s production level is impressive.
-
Brave Words
Stacked with rafter-reaching, arena-size hits, Vale has quickly shaped up as a fan favorite.
-
Red Brick
A satisfying fusion of their early metal stylings and adventurous pop.
-
The Haystack Music
Despite the strength of much of its instrumentation Vale is held back by generic lyricism and hooks.
-
Deviant Art
Simply put, this album is highly mediocre, and rarely takes any risks, so approach this at your OWN risk, but don't expect a masterpiece.
-
Steemit
Not a bad release overall, it just has to many weak spots for this to be a great album.
-
Smash Press
Unfortunately, that means that all songs are very similar and there is no surprise on the album.
-
WGRD
I will vouch for the fact that Vale is a fun listen.
-
Gav the Gothic Chav
They have absolutely no charisma whatsoever…the album is annoyingly flat
-
The Chimera Magazine
Getting bigger with each subsequent release and asserting themselves as powerful voice in modern rock music.
-
Alternative Vision
It is easily the most diverse and the hardcore fans are going to love the album and the haters are going to continue to hate.
-
Cryptic Rock
Instead, BVB are a deliciously seductive blend of 1989 and the 2000s: gritty and grungy, sludgy and shredding.
-
Infectious Magazine
Vale has some moments that do bring back some nostalgia for the older fans.
-
Side Stage Magazine
It is a force to be reckoned with in the hard rock community and has proven itself to be a band that fans truly embrace.
-
Grimm Gent
This album has the Black Veil Brides sound that you know. It won't disappoint you and it won't surprise you. But it will amaze you.
-
Hysteria Magazine
They prefer to rehash old ideas, energies as performers fading and ideas fast running dry.
