UncutApr 26, 2012Political metaphors abound on this eclectically ramshackle collection. [Mar 2012, p.98]
-
MojoApr 19, 2012However distinguished the guests, though, there's no doubt who the commanding presence is. [May 2012, p.82]
-
MagnetMar 27, 2012This disc is pure Stewart - urgent, visceral electro-protest for the 21st century. [No. 85, p.59]
-
The WireApr 18, 2012Yes, it's disappointing that Stewart fails to stretch the musical imagination at the same tome, but to roll you eyes at the lack if sophistication or concussive originality is to shun the bigger picture. [Mar 2012, p.60]
-
Mar 27, 2012A belligerent surge of dub-influenced electro-rock and angst-ridden sloganeering.
-
Mar 27, 2012The splendid The Politics of Envy simply ratchets that process up a few notches.
-
Mar 27, 2012Stewart remains a firebrand intent on creating skull-splintering sounds and society-skewering words.
-
Q MagazineMar 27, 2012It's Envy's quietest moment, a hazy cover of Bowie's Letter To Hermione, which is the real diamond in the rough here. [Apr 2012, p.105]
-
May 29, 2012Too much of The Politics of Envy sounds like the mid-'80s acts that glued British pop back together after bands like the Pop Group smashed it to bits.
-
Mar 27, 2012Maybe the problem with The Politics of Envy is that these tracks just sounded too good playing back on shiny studio monitors to a roomful of old friends. If he's struggling to say something about the wider world, maybe Stewart should consider a retreat into his own eccentric interior.
