Kerrang!Sep 9, 2016For all the record's big riffs and bravado, there's plenty regarding matters of the heart, from the heart. [10 Sep 2016, p.50]

Sep 7, 2016Battered and brutalised, Twin Atlantic’s intrinsic pop nous gains depth and credibility on ‘Overthinking’, ‘Missing Link’, ‘The Chaser’ and highlight ‘Ex El’ and a pop epic like ‘Whispers’ becomes a brooding masterpiece that makes Biffy’s ‘Mountains’ look like Peter Gabriel’s ‘Solsbury Hill’.

Sep 6, 2016GLA is by no means perfect and there are a few tracks that don’t quite reach the heights of the album’s brightest moments, with Missing Link and closer Mothertongue both struggling to hold their own. Yet it is hard not to be impressed by Twin Atlantic’s conviction throughout as they show what they can do with the shackles off.
