    Great album, a modern classic. (And I'm pretty sure OMM gave it 5 stars, and not just 4.)

    Genius. The most original, powerful album I have heard in years. A classic to rank alongside Metal Box.

    Hidden is not just the most original record to emerge from Britain this year, but the most unfathomable: an immaculate enigma.
  2. Barnett's blue-sky dreaming is actually a pretty accurate description of Hidden – heavily beat-driven, almost entirely absent of guitars, and laced with large amounts of elaborately arranged woodwind and brass. Does it work? Largely, yes.
  3. Showing clear progression and monumental ambition, TNP have crafted a stark and dense knockout performance.
