Some, however, may miss their more energetic earlier albums."<ref name="Allmusic" /> * ''[[College Music Journal]]'' - "Maintaining a mysterious, dark and primal attitude seems to come easy to Danzig, as the group proves itself once again on ''Danzig 4''. ''Danzig 4'' is definitely not for the meek."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://prod1.cmj.com/articles/display_article.php?id=5723|title=Danzig: Danzig 4|date=November 10, 2000|publisher=[[College Music Journal]]|access-date=August 30, 2010}}{{Dead link|date=November 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> * ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' - "A little more diversity and a significant tightening up of the songwriting quality has resulted in a dark, moody, and at times powerfully evocative album."<ref name="Q" /> * ''Request Magazine'' - "The brooding melancholy of ''4'' never lets up, aided by the stripped-down coproduction of [[Rick Rubin]]. The guitar and vocal distortion adds a psychedelic otherworldly touch while bringing the music back to the rawness of Danzig's garage-punk roots. A Danzig album is always fascinating because the band sounds like no other in hard rock today."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.misfitscentral.com/display.php?t=darticle&f=request.94|title=Danzig 4|last=Kaye|first=Don|date=December 1994|publisher=Request Magazine|access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> * ''[[Trouser Press]]'' - "Dark, sinister, violent, theatrically overstated...Danzig sounds a personal note amid the usual fictional depictions ("Bringer of Death," "Stalker Song"). "I Don't Mind the Pain," "Son of the Morning Star," "Let It Be Captured" and "Cantspeak" disguise what appear to be mundane feelings of loneliness in grandiose imagery, although that doesn't explain the sexual violence of "Little Whip." Elsewhere, he indulges in a little garden-variety self-deification ("Brand New God," "Until You Call on the Dark"). The dynamic variety of the long, ambitious record is better than ever, but it's an audibly strenuous effort. Too self-conscious by half and sonically thick-skinned where previous albums ripped away flesh, ''4'' is pure, but not prime, Danzig."<ref name="TrouserPress">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=danzig|title=DANZIG|magazine=[[Trouser Press]]|access-date=October 8, 2013}}</ref> "Until You Call on the Dark" appears on the 1996 compilation album ''[[Big Ones of Alternative Rock vol. 1]]''. The [[black metal]] band [[Behemoth (band)|Behemoth]] recorded a cover version of "Until You Call on the Dark" for their 2005 EP ''[[Slaves Shall Serve]]''.
