Twenty One revels in fun found in the cobwebbed corners of Alkan's mix and the nightlifing minds of its lyricists.
-
80A bold leap forwards. [Apr 2008, p.98]
-
80This is a vividly youthful album, packed with acid-sharp lyrics and neon-bold choruses, playful vocal harmonies and strikingly confident pop sounds.
-
80Twenty One is an excellent album replete with brilliant, clean, original production and instantly memorable songs.
-
It's the record's wholesome tracks, such as 'Young Love', a duet with folk darling Laura Marling, that prove Mystery Jets thrive in the gap between naivety and cynicism.
-
They've upset people's expectations and made a handful of very good pop songs, but Twenty One ultimately just proves that they're as unpredictable as they ever were.
-
70Twenty One almost feels like the debut and "Making Dens" like the sophomore follow-up.
-
60The Jets sound cohesive and settled but losing their saucer-eyed charm can't help but make them a less mesmerising alternative to the competition. [Apr 2008, p.114]
-
60They can't sustain the quality over an entire album, however, and the inspiration dries up halfway through. [Apr 2008, p.112]
