Reviews and criticism
The total score on the Metacritic website is 70/100 (“generally favorable”) based on 11 reviews [20] .
InRock Magazine in the review of the album notes that “stylistically this is metal, with what epithet it does not matter, although some try to add the fashionable prefix“ groove-, and in some ways they are right "," and claims that thrash metal on the album is small. [5] However, a reviewer at PopMatters notes that For All Kings “stands out as powerful thrash metal with a distinctive sound that is unmistakably Anthrax as it is” [7] .
