| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Kathy FennessyI can't imagine a better companion piece to Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's Metallica-on-the-rocks documentary, Some Kind of Monster. |
| The PlaylistOktay Ege KozakThe perfect antidote to glossy documentaries about teen music sensations, offering a realistic look at wearying grind of the industry machine. |

| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoMiddle-school metal band makes it big in revealing docu. |
