Mar 29, 2016III is a triumph that takes pop and redefines it, and may come to be seen as a watershed moment for the group as they hit full stride.
-
Apr 7, 2016[III's] not all that different from their great 2013 album, II, but III experiments more, sacrificing none of its attractiveness while venturing into skittish micro-trap (lead single "Reminder"), exotic ethno-techno ("Animal Trails"), and something akin to Adele singing William S. Burroughs lyrics over classic glitch ("Eating Hooks").

Q MagazineApr 8, 2016While Finder is as relentless as they come and Intruder punches harder than chase & Status, The Fool details life in a court during the Middle Ages interestingly enough and there's subtle beauty in Eating Hooks. [Jun 2016, p.114]
-
Under The RadarMay 9, 2016III sounds more refined than either of their previous two releases. [May - Jun 2016, p.95]

Mar 29, 2016Though it's Moderat's strongest record, III isn't quite all killer. The very Field-like "Finder" bounces its vocal loop into the pocket, but it doesn't show off the songcraft found on songs like "Reminder," which might have sprung from a solo album by Thom Yorke.
-
Apr 6, 2016Unrestrained emotion is ultimately III's defining attribute, and that richness can be too much to bear.
-
Mar 29, 2016III has a highly melodic crossover feel that is somewhat different to many of the players’ other, grittier projects, although the beats remain a little itchy. Songs about crowd mentality and medieval jesters are novel in theme but overthought and bombastically dramatic in their lyrical phrasing.
