    The Charlatans’ 13th album is grounded on the band’s own indestructible chemistry, Tim Burgess’s exquisitely happy-sad vocals and their ability to juggle melancholy and joy into exhilarating pop songs.

    A memorable display from a band we need to acknowledge as true greats and it’s a thrill ride from beginning to end.

    Enduring, reliable but far from set in their ways. [Jun 2017, p.92]

    Remarkably fresh, contemporary and upbeat for a band's 13th studio album. [Jul 2017, p.106]

    [Tim Burgess'] boyish voice sounds warmer than ever, too, while Johnny Marr and Paul Weller are among guests fortifying his band's fluid grooves. [Jul 2017, p.26]

    A fun and colourful indie album full of pop sensibilities, Different Days is a joy from start to finish and is further indication that Tim Burgess and co. show no sign of stopping.
  7. 70
    Hardly earth-shifting, there’s little to scoff at on Different Days but, most importantly, plenty to smile about.

    Underneath its simmering shimmer Different Days offers spins on classic pop, electronic soul, and late-night chill. Perhaps it's quiet exploration, but the Charlatans embrace the elastic possibilities of new avenues here, and the results are rewarding.

    Tim Burgess, vocalist, focal point, and main reason behind any persisting interesting in The Charlatans isn't improving anywhere near the rate his band mates are, but that does little to take away from the enjoyableness of Different Days.
