  1. The A.V. Club
    100
    Making good on the only slightly veiled threats of Curses, the new Travels With Myself And Another finds Falkous’ barbed stories--of fruitless sex, godless existence, and other pointless-yet-unavoidable bullshit--stretched wire-taut, with nary a moment of wasted energy.
  2. Tiny Mix Tapes
    90
    Travels With Myself and Another is the best thing this crew has ever made. It’s got all you could ask for: hooks, riffs, volume, wordplay, razor-sharp absurdity, and Jack Egglestone’s incomparable power drumming.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    90
    Travels... is a 33 minute monster without a slither of excess fat, and the best thing Andy Falkous has ever put his name to.
  4. Spin
    80
    These Brits--featuring two members of Mclusky, a great band that died in 2005--spit fiery, trebly guitar­rock venom with such lusty glee that following them to hell actually sounds inviting.
  5. Pitchfork
    80
    In addition finding new ways to snarl in their music, the lyrics go beyond mere cleverness into sharp, thoughtful introspection, making Travels a document of a creatively restless band out to prove something to themselves, and not just the fans they’ve picked up along the way.
  6. Slant Magazine
    80
    Travels with Myself and Another expands the complexity, adding guitar solos and a more careful sense of composition to the pounding fray.
  7. Q Magazine

    Trying to find a sense of humour amidst the walloping woe is exhausting. [Aug 2009, p.107]

    The first track takes me straight back to RATM and the mid-90s. It gets even better from there.
