    Magazine manage to retrace where they left off, rediscover their intricacies and do an excellent job at defining themselves for, what one can only hope will be, new generations of listeners.
  3. PopMatters

    The willful direction-as-misdirection of this solid record (if unspectacular by earlier standards of such a creative band) typifies their refusal to conform to expectations.
  5. BBC Music

    The surprise excellence of the songs and the music makes this the long-overdue fourth great Magazine album.
  6. The Guardian

    Guitarist Noko and bassist John "Stan" White (replacing Barry Adamson, who had film commitments) help recapture the sonic blueprint laid down on the first three classic albums
  7. The Independent on Sunday (UK)
    Nov 17, 2011
