    There is a very good rock record waiting for you here – and certainly one that deserves to be appreciated by many more than nine people.

    It may not be entirely reinventing the rock wheel, but it’s certainly a more successful attempt at broadening their horizons.
  3. ‘Back To The Water Below’ feels like a return for Royal Blood. Honouring their gut, as Kerr said they did in the studio, has manifested fertile results for their band.

    The kids might not understand, but rock fans should be delighted that Kerr and Thatcher are still in the ring, giving it everything they’ve got.

    Top-drawer tunes throughout. [Oct 2023, p.78]

    It’s a short and snappy experience clocking in at under 30 minutes, but the rising tides of sin and crashing waves of liability make Back To The Water Below the most all-encompassing outing of Royal Blood’s career.
