Death Is a Warm Blanket is a 2019 studio album by American alternative rock band Microwave, release by Pure Noise Records. It has received positive reviews from critics.
Joe Smith-Engelhardt of Exclaim! rated this album a 7 out of 10, telling readers, "If you thought of Microwave as just another emocore band until now, Death Is a Warm Blanket should change your mind. The record feels like a big shift in their direction that they hopefully continue to explore on future releases." A review in The Music ended, "although I have a few minor issues with what is still a robust final product, 'Death is a Warm Blanket' serves as a steadfast pillar in the ever-growing catalog of Microwave; one that'll certainly satiate and blow the ears off of every fan come September 13th" and characterized the release as a "gut-wrenching" "droning and sludgy mesh of genres, and a colourful display of the emotions that come with a flurry of human stresses". At PunkNews, Death Is a Warm Blanket was scored 3.5 out of 5 stars by Renaldo69 who compared this sound to Manchester Orchestra and Taking Back Sunday, with this album displaying the band's versatility.
All songs written by Nathan Hardy, Travis Hill, Tyler Hill, and Timothy "Tito" Pittard, except "Hate TKO" co-written by the previous with Aaron Gossett.
