Apr 21, 2017This is the freshest their music has felt for a while.
-
Apr 21, 2017A record that fits neatly in to the Maxïmo Park canon, while seeking to distance itself from it subtly.
-
Apr 21, 2017Thanks to the sincerity and strong melodies that have been Maximo Park's mainstays since the beginning, Risk to Exist combines good intentions with good music.
-
Apr 19, 2017There’s less of an exploratory bent to the record than there was last time out, on 2014's Too Much Information, and when there is a touch of that ambition, the band often revert to their comfort zone too quickly.
-
Apr 21, 2017As a lyrical and moral experiment it’s touching and does what it sets out to; as an auditory experience... not so much.

May 1, 2017As with every Maximo Park album since the underwhelming Quicken the Heart, Risk to Exist also has a nagging tendency to drastically change the template with underwhelming results. Sometimes it works.

Apr 24, 2017As a tonic to the like-minded, these soul-tinged indie resistance anthems do their bit, if seldom approaching the euphoric lift-off of Maximo’s best songs.
