Feb 14, 2020Definetely Squarepusher's best in a decade. Every song is a banger. Also, the ambient songs are beautiful as well. Very technical and a great listen from front to back!

Aug 1, 2020oberlove is a bad start with boring chord progressions, but the album is great after it.
Ambient cuts are good alone but they don't fit in the tracklist properly and disrupt the momentum. -
Jul 31, 2023Super Glitchy and good at catching you off guard. This is a modern classic of Squarepusher. Drill n bass, absolute chaos and some haunting gorgeous background synths.

Mar 25, 2020Be Up a Hello can be a lot to take in at times, a rambunctious and restless effort from a man comfortable in his ability to make the dancefloor obsolete. But there’s more here than simply speed and density – there are strange currents working their way through the songs, hints are something deeper and more relatable than its superficial excess might suggest.

Feb 13, 2020Your response to Be Up A Hello will depend on your tolerance for Squarepusher’s virtuosic onslaughts. It can be as exhausting as it’s exhilarating. If there’s a sameness to the BPM readings of the up-tempo tracks a deeper listen reveals the layers that are buried beneath the frenzy and show Squarepusher has lost none of his edge.

The WireFeb 5, 2020The nine tracks here compact his characteristic baroque late jungle excesses into compact, juddering frames. While they still rarely swing, their frenetic motion carries bent and warping keys, rolling breakbeats and maddened blarps of synth towards a clear endpoint. [Feb 2020, p.58]
