Mar 18, 2016Unusually consistent while still admirably varied, Chaosmosis is one of the early delights of the year.
-
Mar 18, 2016There's enough on Chaosmosis to keep even the most casual fan occupied over the months ahead. As for those already worshipping at the altar of Primal Scream, prepare to be consecrated once more.
-
Mar 18, 2016Over the course of a 35-year career defined by excess, reinvention and the occasional brush with genius, Primal Scream have made all sorts of albums, but not one quite like this.

Mar 16, 2016Occasionally, songs sound a little too derivative of older Scream, but Gillespie's desire to look inward feels genuine.

Q MagazineFeb 23, 2016For the most part, their 11th album is the sound of a band getting back to their best. [Apr 2016, p.100]

Mar 18, 2016When the group toys with synth-pop and krautrock elements, such as on the metronomic “Carnival Of Fools,” it pushes Chaosmosis further into retro territory, which is not a bad place to be.

Mar 14, 2016Chaosmosis is a record ultra-charged by love, a deliberately lovable antidote to the hostile political environment that the U.K. finds itself in. It's also solid proof that Primal Scream are only getting better at blurring the lines between oddball and popular music, and in fact they pretty much erode it completely.

Mar 18, 2016Will it be your favorite Primal Scream record? Probably not, but it’s a good record with a couple of killer jams--so roll a little face for old time’s sake.
