    LC! demonstrate once more that they are masters of drilling down into the minutiae of life, spotting the danger ahead, while remaining powerless to make better choices.

    That All Hell is another high-quality release is not the least bit surprising; it’s their best record and likely one of the finest of the year, which is a welcome surprise. There is no question it will captivate longtime fans, but is it too late for a veteran emo band from Wales to break through to a broader audience? If All Hell doesn’t do it, imagining what it would take isn’t easy.

    In seizing control of the means of production, they’ve reached a new peak and have never sounded so accessible. This is music to cry and party to at the same time. They’ll eviscerate you and you’ll thank them for the privilege.

    The astonishing amount of care and detail that went into All Hell might just be the result of seven and a half years of creation, or maybe it’s Los Campesinos! giving us an album big enough to live in case it needs to last a lifetime.

    Delivering their most ambitious and longest album since 2010’s opus Romance Is Boring – and doing so while maintaining all the hallmarks that have made them such a beloved force.

    You can really feel that extra decade-plus in the structures, songwriting, and sonics of All Hell, but the polish and compositional sophistication here don’t belie a lack of fire.

    All Hell isn’t much of an evolution on Los Campesinos!’s brand of emo rock, and the most impactful moments are when their instruments swell in harmony or their voices combine to create haunting, funereal images. It’s an album that will undoubtedly please Los Campesinos! fans.
