May 14, 2012The hallmarks of Simian Mobile Disco are present - huge beats and house loops take centre-stage - but many of the tracks just feel like they're missing a vital component.

MagnetMay 30, 2012Unpatterns is indeed mostly patterns, in fact - moody, bloopy instrumentals that don't really fit into one subgenre box because they barely muster the strength to be defined by a category. [No.87 p.59]
-
MojoJul 18, 2012This is SMD's deepest, moodiest record to date. [Jun 2012, p.85]
-
May 16, 2012Unpatterns is long on proficiency, but short on pathos, and not particularly innovative, either.
