Resist is an alluring, entrancing, and wholly beautiful collection that has moments of epic glory, and some toe-tappers as well.

Dead Press
If you can get over the odd flourish of poppiness and the general lack of technicality, then ‘Resist’ is a further sign of Within Temptation maturing and flexing their musical muscles to wider places, and is definitely a piece of art to invest in.

3 Songs & Out
Those first four tracks alone are brilliant, and the rest of the album isn’t terrible, it’s just a bit bland by comparison.

the album is the musical fast-food that is made on the basis of a template and a formula.

Well worth a listen, then, and trust me – there’s no need to worry that you might be infected by the pop virus if you choose to give Resist a spin…
