Hats Off to the Bull is the sixth studio album by American rock band Chevelle, released on December 6, 2011.

"[7] In About.com's article for their Best Rock Albums of 2011, in which Hats Off to the Bull placed sixth, author Tim Grierson said, "Chevelle have yet to turn into mature, reflective balladeers -- and that's a very good thing.

With Hats Off to the Bull, the Chicago trio continue to deliver on-point rockers full of snarling nastiness.

Taut and lean, catchy and mean, these 11 tracks expertly deliver their payload in four concise, punishing minutes of superb guitar rock.

"[15] PopMatters reviewer Pete Crigler said, "On Hats Off to the Bull, Chevelle’s sixth album, they return to their roots with the amazingly heavy first single, "Face to the Floor", which has already become one of their biggest hits.

However, the band is starting to show age in their formula, making Hats Off to the Bull feel like it's been down a very, very well-traveled path.
