UncutMay 13, 2011It's less wacky than their first--if still faintly smart-alecky--and boasts a clutch of impressively efficient, synth-powered indie pop numbers. [Jun 2011, p.103]
-
May 9, 2011It fails in the execution of its most basic concept, it manages to be simultaneously po-faced and frivolous, and its tracks never quite make it into the above-average rank.

Apr 21, 2011The Wombats have aimed low, and in its own special way, This Modern Glitch is a triumph for mediocrity.
