    With Forgiveness Is Yours, Saoudi and company achieve that objective—with a patina of sophistication.

    A brilliantly inventive record that concludes with a bit of sarky musical theatre (which may be aimed at Adamczewski). Saoudi has hinted that this could be Fat Whites’ final album. If so, they’ve gone out on the most surprising note of all.

    On this record Fat White Family solidify their status as a one of Britain’s most unique voices, and ‘Forgiveness Is Yours’ is the strongest example yet of the band’s caustic creativity.

    A few songs get bogged down with less of what makes the music so appealing and are missing that intangible ingredient, creating an uneven album that is somewhat erratic and inconsistent. .... Forgiveness Is Yours is original, intriguing, and appealing to adventurous souls looking for a listening experience outside their comfort zone and into the recklessly candid world of a unique and talented band.
  5. 60
    It changes its arm in a myriad of directions, with only a few really working, but they remain a band set apart from those around them, even if here they stumble.

    A certain rock'n'roll energy is lacking. .... Think: transitional. [Jun 2024, p.86]

    Even when it doesn’t quite hit the mark, they still sound like no other band out there. They remain a curiously compelling act to listen to, who play by thier own rules – chaos remains their lifeblood, for good and for bad.
