## Critical reception

Professional ratings Aggregate scores Source Rating Metacritic 85/100[13] Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [14] Blabbermouth.net 8.5/10[15] Classic Rock [13] Kerrang! 3/5[16] MetalSucks [17] Sputnikmusic 4.0/5[18]

*EndEx* received a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregator [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic) based on four critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[13] Neil Z. Yeung of [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) summarized *EndEx* as "another collection of angry, jagged diatribes that denounce all that's wrong with the world while providing a soundtrack to an inevitable end. [...] Yet, as with every other one of their albums, this impending doom never sounded so good."[14] *[Classic Rock](/source/Classic_Rock_(magazine))* described it as "a disorienting yet potently addictive mix, reflective of [industrial metal](/source/Industrial_metal)'s labyrinthine roots in electronica, new wave and beyond".[13] Anne Erickson of *[Blabbermouth.net](/source/Blabbermouth.net)* wrote "The tracks on "EndEx" are cleansing, climaxing anthems with Mincolla's hair-raising vocals sounding as bleak and doomy as ever...3TEETH are here to champion industrial metal and make sure the genre stays relevant for years to come."[15]

James Hickie of *[Kerrang!](/source/Kerrang!)* wrote that "*EndEx* doesn't win many points for going where no band has gone before" and finding it to be "an album with bite, even if it takes a moment to successfully grip the listener".[16] Mandy Scythe writing for *[MetalSucks](/source/MetalSucks)* stated, "EndEx plays up its [industrial](/source/Industrial_music) nature. And thanks to their collaboration with co-producer *[Doom](/source/Doom_(2016_video_game))* composer Mick Gordon, the whole experience is a dense, odd, and slightly off-putting effort — in the best way possible."[17] Simon K. of Sputnikmusic called it "a merciful entry that seems to almost fully acknowledge *[Metawar](/source/Metawar)*'s main problems. On the whole, *EndEx* is an excellent entry that sticks close to the band's strongest attributes, albeit, not without its frustrating moments".[18]
