    An album that kicks off with a blast, and that maintains this energy and positivity all along the 12 tracks with some cool electronics elements here and there, raspy screams from Rou, fast-paced drumming and always some great hooks, low tuned guitars and some breathers between the banger (Dead Wood, Giant Pacific Octopus Swirling off into infinity...)
    Overall, a great experience, with    An album that kicks off with a blast, and that maintains this energy and positivity all along the 12 tracks with some cool electronics elements here and there, raspy screams from Rou, fast-paced drumming and always some great hooks, low tuned guitars and some breathers between the banger (Dead Wood, Giant Pacific Octopus Swirling off into infinity...)

    Monotono, aburrido, en el limbo de ser un álbum indie, personalmente no me gusta.

    Great album, combines all the best elements of their previous work with awesome breakdowns and riffs.

    Fun album just lacking that cutting edge for me. Maybe one that grows with more listens!

    Edit: Have had a few more listens, this has definitely grown.

    As Rou himself put it, an explosion of positivity. Some of Shikari's strongest and most memorable choruses, their core sound and unique genre-blending is maintained with moments of bliss, frantic chaos, beauty and joy. Fantastic record to add to their arsenal that will sound incredible live

    A KISS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD has really good energy, Shikari combined all music styles which they done to this date. They just can not make bad album, every release has its own meaning and mood that catch listeners. Really powerful and positive album from start to finish. They've done it again!

    Nearly perfect, only thing I would say is it's slightly short - one or two more tracks and it would be a 10

    Enter Shikari are as invigorating as ever, and perhaps at their most invigorated too.

    A Kiss For the Whole World remains eminently-listenable low-calorie fun despite its intermittent slip ups.
