Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "The Kills needed to pull something new out of their hat. Using crunched beats that owe more to hip hop/R&B than garage rock, adding bright white to their palette, they've done just that.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Their primal blues frequently reference a darker White Stripes, while Alison Mosshart's vocals echo an on-form PJ Harvey...", "Their octane-edged atmosphere remains: The dozen blues-rock dirges build hypnotically from the raw elements of stripped-down percussion, sludgy guitar riffs, and singing-through-a-dirty-gym-sock vocals.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "The sultry burn of MIDNIGHT BOOM makes the duo seem more continental than ever....The duo's most accomplished release to date. An album that one suspects will age extremely well.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Behind the pouts are riffs that could draw real blood and sharp, broken-down beats that in combination sound like a malfunctioning sampler chopping up Jack White.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The unsatisfied sneer of singer Alison Mosshart and the black-vinyl blooze riffs of guitarist Jamie Hince swagger with debauched élan.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With elusive, intriguing, jagged slithers of melodic hook lingering on the taste buds. Their lyrics, too, are enigmatic...like jottings from a frazzled night owl's notebook."

Additional InformationUnrepentantly glamorous and tender, high-end and trashy, Midnight Boom is the Kills' most consistent, varied, and inventive album yet.
