DEATH MAGIC

Pitchfork 7.8/10 It's been over half a decade since HEALTH released a studio album, and Death Magic is a bold, albeit occasionally jarring, step forward. The band finally embraces the pop impulses that seem to have always been lurking in their DNA.

A.V. Club A- The A.V. Club digs deep into film, TV, music, games, books and more.

The Line of Best Fit 9/10 LA noise-mongers return with an astounding pop record that brings melody to their brand of noise.

DIY 4/5 The more HEALTH change, the more HEALTH stay the same.
