"Når alt kommer til alt, så er det, der gør, at dette album udskiller sig positivt, helhedsoplevelsen. De små preludes "Sleep the Deep" og "VVurmhole", der isoleret set er selvstændige sange, men fungerer som små introer, præger albummet i en positiv retning. Chevelle formår at skabe et lydbillede, hvor de implementerer intense guitareffekter og dybe synthesizere, der føles autentisk med albummets koncept (...). Med alt taget i betragtning synes jeg virkelig, at Chevelle på NIRATIAS formår at skabe et ganske solidt album".

"Med et utroligt stærkt bagkatalog, kan det kun undre, at Chevelle ikke er blevet større uden for staterne. At vi ikke har set mere til bandet i Danmark. Skulle det vise sig, at 'Nirtias' er bandets sidste udgivelse, er det en fandens god plade at lukke af med - måske endda bandets bedste? Alt andet lige vil det være en skam. De fortjener - på samme måde som deres danske fanbase - en headline-koncert her i landet på et mindre spillested, så vi virkelig kan opleve og nyde, hvor godt et band Chevelle er".

"Peppered with interstitial pieces like the Danny Elfman-esque "Sleep the Deep" and the icy, ambient closer "Lost in the Digital Woods," the 13-track set bears the architectural hallmarks of a concept album, but its narrative is opaque at best - Pete cites the work of Carl Sagan, Elon Musk, and Neil deGrasse Tyson as inspirations. Still, Sagan describes the cosmos as "beyond ordinary human understanding," and with Niratias, Chevelle has effectively - and reliably - distilled that ambiguity into sound".

"The new space age is upon us and Chevelle has written the soundtrack warning of the dystopian future that looks more like Blade Runner and Total Recall than we'd like on NIRATIAS. The album ties together a tight recorded performance that sounds larger than life along with strong, unique songwriting that propelled Chevelle forward for just over 20 years. Despite the slight but apparent disparity between tracks, NIRATIAS marks a strong return for Chevelle, and is equally compelling as it is provocative".
