    It’s a glorious mess of a record, reaching for everything at once, and hitting most of it.

    A triumph on many levels and a failure on only a few small fronts, ExitingARM is a more than worthy addition to Themselve’s vast array of musical treasures, and a sign that perhaps in the future we’ll see a truly universal album come from anticon.’s most brilliant duo.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    80
    It’s from this multi-layered hive of instrumentation and exquisite verb-spouting though where ExitingARM begins to flourish.
  4. All Music Guide
    60
    The problem is, because the songs are so dense, and the lyrics nearly unintelligible, it becomes difficult to differentiate Exiting Arm from the band's other work, and because of that, makes the album a bit of a disappointment.

    Great new release from anticon's experimental hip-hop/electronic/rock group. Breath of fresh air.
