Jun 22, 2015The lads have given this album everything, everything and then some.
-
Jun 15, 2015Everything Everything have sculpted a masterpiece.
-
Q MagazineJun 10, 2015This is spectacular. [Jul 2015, p.115]
-
Jun 15, 2015There is a Big League sheen to much of this record which, mercifully, at no point saps the band's wildly abandoned creativity.
-
Jun 22, 2015It's better paced than Arc, which had great songs but grew tiresome. It's the insular nature of these songs that makes the album better than their previous efforts, a purity emerges from their new found restraint, there is depth to be found in its breathing room.
-
Jun 19, 2015This is pop music with complex narratives, and if the masses are willing to listen, they could be the band that recharges the UK charts with genuinely meaningful music.
-
Jul 15, 2015The lyrical content, along with the album's constant energy, make this Everything Everything's most focused effort thus far, one that bundles brawny indie rock with 2010s Zeitgeist.
-
Jun 22, 2015The results may on occasion be fraught with discomfort, and feel like a caffeine overdose, but in that respect Get To Heaven is an accurate reflection of life today, with its overwhelming tags, mentions, likes, unread messages, stimulants and stress relievers.
-
Jun 22, 2015As with their previous work, it transcends easy genre-pigeonholing, but imagine a Radiohead you can dance to and you’re getting close.
-
Jun 18, 2015The record is certainly the best distillation to date of a band whose careening fun places equal value on Radiohead at their most brow-furrowed and novelty chart hits without any trace of preening post-irony.
-
Under The RadarJun 10, 2015Get To Heaven is another big step toward the leading spotlight the burgeoning art-pop genre needs. [Apr-May 2015, p.82]
-
Jun 26, 2015While Get to Heaven's ceaseless terror and heavy arrangements can be overwhelming, more power to Everything Everything for attempting to offer a nuanced understanding of a broken world at a time when a lot of their significantly less imaginative British indie rock peers say worse than nothing.
-
UncutJun 24, 2015Their tendency to overthink and squeeze every drop of pleasure from their work does them few favors, particularly when they showcase such innovative songcraft on a record like Get To Heaven. [Aug 2015, p.73]
-
Jun 10, 2015For all its technicality and viscerality, the album never packs the same emotional punch as 2013’s Arc and some songs--like the glitchy, overlong ‘Warm Healer’--never quite seem to find their own centre of gravity. Still, few records released in 2015 will feel as true to the times as this one.
-
Jun 22, 2015Although their go-for-broke approach furnishes ideas to spare, the unwitting effect is a set of lurches from impressive to hopelessly ill-integrated, often over the course of a single song.
-
Jun 18, 2015It’s often compelling, but you occasionally find yourself gripped by an overwhelming urge to turn it off.
-
MojoJun 10, 2015Get To Heaven feels both like a band at the peak of their powers and self-consciously dialing everything up to 11 before things go up in flames. [Jul 2015, p.90]
