Jun 28, 2018I’m impressed by how many times I can listen to those tracks without being bored. It’s all so relaxing, and some songs really make me want to dance.
I really enjoy listening to this while working, Corinne being my favorite song in there. -
Jul 13, 2016Probably one of my favourite albums of all time. It truly is a summertime mix that makes me want to hit the beach. Tracks such as "Everything Goes My Way" and "The Look" truly open up the band's creativity and mix of vocal styles.

Apr 19, 2012Plinky-plonky rubbish. Maybe Metronomy aren't for me, or maybe it sounds different on the actual English Riviera rather than in rain-soaked Glasgow. I do like a bit of Brit Lo-fi, but I think Belle and Sebastian have done this sort of thing a lot better than this. The rating is for 'The Look' only, avoid the rest.

Jun 4, 2011Fans of Metronomy might criticise this album for being such a vast departure from Nights out and even more so the fantastic Pip Paine. To take this viewpoint, however, is to overlook the obvious quality of this record - masterfully constructed beach pop that defies any criticism of stripped-down over simplicity with killer riffs and stunning clarity of production. A chill-out masterpiece.

Dec 7, 2011The English Riviera is a challenging but ultimately rewarding effort which cements Mount's reputation as one of Britain's most intriguing pop mavericks.

Jul 21, 2011It has a sense of Englishness that people might associate with Pulp, The Kinks, early Pink Floyd and Blur, and maybe even The Beatles.
