    If you listened to Kid A and Amnesiac, get ready for some deja vu. This is, essentially, those records without any of the interesting bits. Liars have always been more ambitious than talented, and that trend continues unabated here.

    For a record that strives to sound disembodied, it has a powerful grip. [Jul 2012, p.105]

    Liars have created another standout album that while dissimilar from the rest, is nothing short of amazing and nothing of a surprise from such an exceptional band.

    WIXIW's pop is still complex and affecting and of beguiling substance. [Aug 2012, p.91]
