Jan 6, 2016'Algiers' is a really interesting album. I like this. My favourite tracks: 'Games', 'Blood', 'Remains' and 'Claudette'. Good job and I wait for another position! :)

Jan 4, 2016The album is cool but the lyrics are silly at times and sonically the album becomes monotonous and it would have been worse if it wasn't for the song " Irony. Utility. Pretext. " which is undoubtedly the ultimate highlight.

Jul 22, 2015While the songwriting can be somewhat hit and miss, the sheer sound Algiers have created with their debut is worth many listens. Post punk and gospel come together for an entertaining - and altogether unexpected - listening experience. Definitely check this record out for something fresh and exciting in 2015.

MagnetJul 8, 2015There's not a lot of post-punk, no-wave or noise to be found here, but more so a very topical sound for the right now. [No. 122, p.53]
