Feb 18, 2022Writing happy songs that aren't annoying is a tall order, but Mount and company pull it off with enough flair to make Small World a satisfying microcosm of Metronomy's music.
-
Feb 17, 2022A pleasing work of subtle evolution that taps into the group’s core values while teasing out fresh ideas.
-
Feb 18, 2022‘Small World’ might be the biggest diversion from their main stage sound to date, but it’s also one of the most heartfelt and rewarding. Metronomy, it’s good to have you back.
-
UncutFeb 16, 2022Modestly presented, then, but as skillfully turned as ever. [Mar 2022, p.31]
-
Feb 17, 2022As it is Small World is melodious and twee in a good way.
-
Feb 16, 2022Whilst Small World doesn't quite pack as much of a punch as Metronomy Forever, it’s a sweet and uplifting album.
-
Feb 25, 2022Where Forever was inspired by the excesses of Drake et al, wherein an album is more a morass of disconnected ideas, the suitably titled Small World narrows Mount’s vision. But without the creative divergences of its predecessor, you’re left with a fairly forgettable mush, saved only by its brevity.

Feb 21, 2022The songwriting's solid and the sound is warm and inviting, and yet I still feel more efforts could have been made to innovate, sonically speaking.
