    This album is right on the border between hypnotic and boring. Although it's overall salvageable and sometimes interesting, it appears also a bit cheapish and remedied in several points. I usually enjoy indie albums, but this one definitely denotes a slight worsening if compared to the past works of the band.

    O Shudder is another great Dutch Uncles album, and that should be more than enough.

    Whilst the album sounds confident and assured, its lyrical themes are built around questions, without ever proposing answers.

    Though the busy, Reichian loops help decorate the retro palette, it's the sort of intricacy that can encase art-pop in bulletproof glass, demanding admiration without meeting us halfway. At its best, though, O Shudder's timeworn skill is to combat looming adversity with verve and rhythm, emptying the mind through the body.
