Rescue & Restore is the sixth album by August Burns Red, released 25 June 2013 through Solid State Records. Rescue & Restore has received generally positive reception by music critics. Todd Lyons of About.com noted it as being "demanding and rewarding", and that this is a "difficult and ultimately stellar achievement." At AbsolutePunk, Jake Denning told that "if you consider yourself a fan of heavy music, Rescue & Restore is going to be an automatic staple in your record collection for many years to come." Gregory Heaney of Allmusic stated that the effort "is an incredible leap for the band that should not only please the August Burns Red faithful, but opens them up to a wider audience of metal lovers."
At Exclaim!, Bradley Zorgdrager said that "although the album doesn't repeat a verse-chorus-verse-chorus-breakdown formula, it also lacks distinct or memorable riffs." Lee Brown of Indie Vision Music highlighted that the release contains a "tight and cohesive musical experience that isn’t afraid to innovate musically". At Jesus Freak Hideout, Wayne Reimer noted how the album "is much more than just metal with a few odd interludes sprinkled throughout." Also, Michael Weaver of Jesus Freak Hideout noted how the release "is stepped up a notch from their previous attempt."
