Pure pop is an unforgiving master and a slight dip in quality results in the flaccid 'Patient' sounding like a blighted Go West off-cut. Fitfully good.- Clash Music

Surprising and satisfying, we'll even try to forgive the spoken word interlude.- Clash Music

Unfortunately, other than aiding nostalgia, there's not much else nice to say about The National Health.- Clash Music

["Night and Day" and "Flutes"] are glimmers of liveliness on an otherwise decedent record.- Clash Music

Valtari is glistening, subliminal and sounds as if it's balanced on a falling raindrop.- Clash Music

The only maturity in their sound is towards a more ambient quarter. Elevator music not quite, but rising out of the background might be an issue.- Clash Music

The 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.- Clash Music

Most of these tunes are neither dog turd nor diamond. They're decent-ish disco-punk stompers sold by the vocal.- Clash Music

It all feels a little weary and, whilst there's clear commitment and execution, the material suddenly sounds oh so dated.- Clash Music

[Wonky has] not improved on any of their previous work. They are merely chasing the shadows cast from their own trademarked head torches.- Clash Music

It's far from perfect - 'Ghost Note' sounds horribly like Skrillex in places - but there [are] enough interesting sonic detours to suggest that these agitators of sound are more than just another over-hyped gimmick band.- Clash Music

Studio gloss and sanitised drums too often leave things sounding a little safe.- Clash Music

Unfortunately, the resultant package is very cleverly constructed and yet maddeningly dull.- Clash Music

An album that could be the soundtrack to the most fucked-up cowboy movie yet to be made.- Clash Music

They could do with a couple more uptempo nuggets like 'The Kids Were Wrong'.- Clash Music

So many of the risks taken are either unevocative or plain annoying, particularly when the tracks are structured with so little sense of development.- Clash Music

Lee ... continues his proclivity for sonic innovation with a plethora of funky grooves and drum lines - with no loops in earshot. AM's psychedelic guitar licks, basslines and vocals underpin an overriding '60s vibe.- Clash Music

The over-riding impression is that this is a tired, conservative and weirdly insular album.- Clash Music

With clean production and virtuoisitic precision, imagine a Latin, metal, jazz inspired mellow mele, on acoustic instruments.- Clash Music

It's a band comfortable with the idea of growing up but like kids trying on their parent's clothes, the ideas behind Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen are a little oversized but not by much.- Clash Music
