  1. Delusions of Adequacy

    Once the blissful excitement of 'Brain Burner' closes the album you will realize that with Nouns, No Age have not only delivered an intense blend of experimental/noise/ambient rock but they have very clearly delivered, arguably, the best album of the year.
  2. Pitchfork
    92
    Nouns is so cacophonous, so fertile, and so ripe with sound that parsing out the samples and effects and various layers of guitar is nearly impossible; besides, it's way more satisfying to just close your eyes and just enjoy it.
  3. The Guardian
    60
    But for all Randall's hairdryer noise and molten texture, they seem to lack killer hooks.
