  1. Drowned In Sound
    100
    This is ageless music, and utterly, one hundred per cent essential.
  2. Playlouder
    90
    Easily one of the most essential sessions albums ever released, this, and probably one of the year’s most essential, full stop.
  3. Delusions of Adequacy
    90
    Government Commissions is a must-have for any Mogwai fan, as the live version of “Like Herod” alone is worth the price of the full CD.
  4. Dusted Magazine
    90
    Back-to-back tracks recorded years apart seem inseparable, and some of the recordings here are the strongest the band – or anyone else – has ever put to tape.
