MagnetOct 14, 2015As If offers something close to perfection, as far as !!! goes. [No. 125, p.52]
-
Oct 16, 2015An album that has no shortage of huge highs.
-
Q MagazineOct 27, 2015An exhilarating workout for mind and soul. [Dec 2015, p.103]

Oct 16, 2015If it feels just a little patchy in places compared to its predecessor, it's hard not to be jerked into life by this band's approach to the dancefloor's dark bidding. Just don't over-think it.
-
Oct 21, 2015As If leans a little too heavily on the groove in the middle, with moments like "Funk (I Got This)" fading into the background, but it's reinvigorated towards the end by the riveting "Lucy Mongoosey", which uses another singalong chorus as an anchor, an introspective pause among all the dancing.

Oct 19, 2015Brash, wearyingly loud and very funky, As If certainly isn’t lacking in emphasis, but will likely disappoint if you’re searching for a little more.

Oct 15, 2015The middle section of the album is stellar, and for a few fleeting moments, it all seems to work. Unfortunately, the rest of As If is much less engaging.
