Mar 12, 2012It is miles better than 'Innerspeaker', and quite possibly the best album released so far this year.
-
UncutJun 1, 2012A fair amount of cosmic fannying involved, but this is framed by some cracking songwriting. [Jul 2012, p.79]
-
Dec 20, 2012It's different enough to feel like a companion piece rather than a knock-off: less laboured over, more the sound of a rock band kicking back, and less alienated.
-
Mar 7, 2012The communal, freewheeling looseness is one of the album's greatest assets, as you feel as if you were a party to the making of the record in Eagle Bay, too.

Mar 7, 2012Unless you are in the company of some helpful stimulants, it is ultimately frustrating and chaotic. You can marvel at the wondrous and wacky keyboard sounds one minute, but you'll be shaking your head at some of the strange musical harmonies and directions the next.
