    Enter Shikari prove that they have something substantial to say and a creative way of saying it.

    A Flash Flood of Colour is daring, thought provoking, and utterly unpredictable, making it the first bold record of 2012 and Enter Shikari's defining moment.

    For the most part, A Flash Flood of Colour revels in a unique, organized chaos, and while it's a demanding and often exhausting listen, it's a call to arms which the flagging U.K. guitar band scene could do with more of.

    An easily accessible album with some catchy tunes that keeps the experimental nature of the band in tact while not attempting to please everyone. It's damn near perfect… Expand

    Every song is amazing, a lot of bass, electronics and metal finally together! Very lyrical and meaningful album. Sound is as fat as never. Highly recommended!… Expand

    This is there best album to date. I first got into Enter Shikari before Take to the Skies was released, when their demos were floating around. 'Take to the Skies' reproduced all of their songs and they were, in my opinion, worse because of it. Common Dreads was an average album with a couple of stand out tracks. A flash flood of colour however is a different kettle of fish. Very easy to listen to from begininning to end, some of the tracks are quite simply stunning. Definitely buy it...now… Expand
