## Reception

Professional ratingsReview scores

Source| Rating
Pitchfork Media| 7.2/10[2]
About.com| [3]

Damned was described by Natalie Zed in About.com as hardcore with a "distinctly metallic flavour", which provided "plenty of satisfying breakdowns and unrelenting aggression paired with beefy, muscular riffs [that] swing between dirty punk, classic hardcore and the odd bit of death metal."[3] Pitchfork's Kim Kelly praised the album as "fast and deadly" and "another worthy addition to their rock-solid catalog".[2] Both Zed and Kelly drew attention to the melodic nature of the band's more experimental track, "Ride the Steel".[3][2]
