"As with the rest of the Melvins' lengthy back catalogue is that the guitar takes centre stage for the duration; enormous, bouncy riffs lay the foundations of every song like a wrecking ball, while Buzz's vocal delivery adds a leisurely juxtaposition to the breakneck speed of the instrumental dynamics. As far as sludgy, frenzied noise rock is concerned, there are few who do it better than Melvins, and Working With God is tangible proof".

"Working with God er Melvins' 32. udgivelse. Det er en plade, der står som et symptom på bandets overproduktivitet og kirsebærret på en isdessert af et bagkatalog af niveau, de færreste kan matche ... Working with God er Melvins, som de fleste kendere kender dem, men det er langt fra et trivielt forsøg på at gøre alt det, der er blevet gjort før. Hvor mange bands af 90'erne er endt ud som noget, de engang hadede, er Melvins et autentisk eksempel på musikalsk kompromisløshed og den ægte overlever af det, der engang blev kaldt grunge".

"As they approach 40 years of existence, the Melvins are still the masters of their own depraved domain. On Working with God, they flippantly experiment with ridiculous ideas only to effortlessly lay down some songs as heavy as the ones they were making before Nirvana left Sub Pop. With nothing to prove and never having seemed too concerned about impressing anyone, the Melvins continue to take their wild-eyed chaos anywhere they choose - Working with God goes to some places that are strange and unforeseen even for them".

"If it wasn't already clear, Working with God shows us that the Melvins are indestructible at this point. Where their single-mindedness might grate from one perspective, from another perspective, they've become the picture of dependability we can only hope all bands would reach".
