Sep 20, 2015As skittish, fascinating and unique as ever, Battles have created their least accessible album yet, but one still rife with brilliance and creativity.

Sep 21, 2015As a fan of the early EP's and Mirrored, this is exactly what I'd been hoping to hear from battles. The lack of a vocalist has allowed Battles to fully explore their potential and find a way to come back from trying times.

Sep 25, 2015One of my favorite albums this year. Loops examined in the fullest. Clean recording and full of new things to hear with each listen. Definitely should check it out

Sep 18, 2015Relentlessly annoying and half-assed even if meticulously planned. None of the badass payoff I came to expect from Mirrored and Gloss Drop. "The Yabba" is the only track that doesn't suck.

Sep 19, 2015This album ended up disappointing me, unfortunately. In La Di Da Di, the album is a bore and Battles here don't even have the effort to try sound as badass or as experimental as they were before in albums such as Gloss Drop and Mirrored. The album drags on and there is no coherence. Production in the album is still pretty solid, and that is the only thing I commend the album for.

MagnetOct 14, 2015[A] consummate artistic triumph. [No. 125, p.56]

Oct 13, 2015La Di Da Di is full of very cool timbres and some incredible drumming, but its arrangements leave a lot to be desired.

Oct 2, 2015Like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, La Di Da Di too often feels like a soulless automaton tearing around on autopilot. If only it had a heart.
