Generally favorable reviews - based on 11 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: This is the second full-length album for the British electronic artist.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 11
  2. Negative: 0 out of 11
  1. Impressively, then, Nathan Fake has shown he is very much more than a one trick pony, with a bold second album statement that gets more impressive with every listen. We should watch his every move closely.
  2. There's no doubting that sensory sensations offered here can hold the listener, but most likely they'll be enjoyed a helluva lot more while chemically-enhanced; essentially this is not a record designed for home listening.
  3. Ultimately, it lacks the variety or the startling sonic leaps that would make it essential. Interesting, but no cigar.
