Jun 2, 2016For all their weirdo mangled machine noise, it feels like they’ve reached a beautiful plateau--a perfect crossroads between all their disparate elements, finely tuned and full of vigour.
-
May 26, 2016This is an album polished enough to see your face in, and yet it’s probably--and this isn’t necessarily a criticism--the most disjointed Holy Fuck album to date.
-
May 23, 2016Yet for all its overwhelming menace, Congrats is a record that never gets fully lost within the darkness; the band demonstrating a perspicacity to chain one another up when in the past they would have ran feral.
-
May 27, 2016Congrats still sounds unmistakably like Holy Fuck, but their vision of weird electronic pop is much clearer here.
-
Jun 6, 2016All of the songs (minus one useless interlude) had at least something worth returning to.
-
Jun 8, 2016Overall, Congrats acts more as a proof-of-concept than as a proper successor to Latin.
-
May 23, 2016The buzz never quite lasts. Cuts such as "Neon Dad" and "Acidic" are less thriller, more filler; each is executed with admirable precision, but unable to reach the peak of cranium-dismantling album closer "Crapture."
