MojoMar 29, 2018Beneath the surface sheen, Resistance Is Futile is a complex, multi-layer work. [May 2018, p.88]
-
Apr 9, 2018The sheer scale, pop-pomp and balls on show here render their survival an absolute victory. Resistance may be futile, but the Manics continue to advance.
-
Apr 11, 2018While there are a couple of misfires (Broken Algorithms is as messy as its title would suggest), this is generally a fine return to form from one of the country’s most treasured bands.
-
Apr 12, 2018This is not the Manics’ best album, but it is one of their most charming. As a document of where they stand it is endlessly fascinating.
-
Mar 29, 2018Occasional MOR slumps aside, most of Resistance comes sharpened by the Manics’ innate extremes of intelligence and instinct, populist extroversion and prickly introspection, melody and over-stretched meter.
-
Apr 13, 2018These songs, in which the rough-edged art-punk core of the Manics’ earliest days needles through mature, accomplished lushness, are heavy with a sense of the passing of all things and an uncertainty about their place in the world.
-
Apr 16, 2018With Resistance is Futile, they’ve finally caught up with their own reality and decided to produce the one album they never made; a serviceable rock album.
