The WireDec 11, 2017Ununiform demonstrates that Tricky has retained his sense of adventure; even at its most opaque and cryptic lyrically, his music remains hypnotic. [Nov 2017, p.64]
-
Sep 25, 2017Throughout, Tricky creates a claustrophobic world full of stark bass lines, pop digressions and slinky Bristol moments; his duet with Francesca Belmonte, New Stole, is particularly moreish.
-
UncutSep 22, 2017It seems he's at peace with trip-hop and his legacy. However, the punky "Dark Days" with Mina Rose and a minimal take on Hole's "Doll Parts" with singer Avalon Lurks suggests he remains restless for what might be over the next smoky horizon. [Nov 2017, p.36]

Q MagazineSep 20, 2017The most Tricky-like he's sounded in years. [Oct 2017, p.104]

Nov 14, 2017Tricky isn't trying as hard to be all things like he was at the turn of the millennium, and he's not phoning it in to pay the bills like he's been doing for the past few albums. He's making music for the love of making music, and the results are pretty satisfying.
-
Nov 7, 2017While this LP is yet another release that is not Maxinquaye, compared to the average Tricky album, it's accessible, mostly focused, and offers a handful of moments that remind listeners of his early promise and hold attention until his next effort.
-
Sep 26, 2017In the end, Ununiform has it's peaks and valleys.
-
Sep 25, 2017His best album since Pre-Millennium Tension. The album's second track says it all about Ununiform: "Same as It Ever Was."
-
Oct 4, 2017While it’s a long way from the heights he once reached, ununiform carries more promise than Tricky has shown in some time.
-
MojoSep 20, 2017Tricky effectively goes missing as sultry vocal proxies Avalon Lurks, Mina Rose and Terra Lopez takes the weight, before beautifully briny closer When We Die, with original foil Martina Topley-Bird, reminds us of his peculiar strengths. [Oct 2017, p.94]
-
Sep 20, 2017The problem is that the production on ununiform struggles to match the raw, naive ingenuity of Tricky’s early music, instead suggesting the rather basic electronic beats of 2014’s Adrian Thaws.
-
Sep 20, 2017Ununiform is an uneven album at best, showing that Tricky isn't bereft of ideas but was lacking the fire to properly flesh them out.
