    This is music that demands to be played loud, and often.

    Factory Floor might be known for their life-changing gigs, but their album proves that, in the studio, they also have the ability to induce shivers, body jerking and a rush of blood throughout your entire body.
  3. The Line of Best Fit
    Sep 3, 2013

    Factory Floor’s music is distilled down into three elements. Rhythm. Synths. Vocals. That they make something so evocatively alienated, so compulsively unknowable and so bleakly irresistible from simply this is a sharp, uncompromising, emphatic victory.
  4. Drowned In Sound
    Sep 4, 2013
    80
    Given the gestation period and polish, the humanity that manages to shine through this tight, crafted record is a triumph; the sound of a band having a whole lot of fun in the hope that ultimately you will do too.

    Worth the three years it took to materialize, this is a strong, assured debut that shows Factory Floor can build on their influences in a way that feels fresh.

    As a whole, it’s not so much sonically austere as utterly aesthetically totalitarian.
  7. Under The Radar
    Sep 3, 2013
    60
    A little more disco and a touch less unsettling than those previous efforts that earned them "post-industrial" status. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.102]
