Feb 22, 2022I am a huge, long-time Metronomy fan but I just can't get into this record. I listened to it like 10 times but I get bored by it. It's not bad, but rather mediocre. Very disappointing after the absolute banger of an EP they put out last year.

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.

Feb 18, 2022A calm and humble record, 'Small World' sounds comforting at this uneasy time. I feel like the band was not very ambitious about this one and it's fine. Some music just makes you feel better and sometimes it's all you really need.

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 22, 2022Metronomy’s Small World shows us exactly what it’s like to take it easy but still deliver have a rewarding experience.

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.
