Jun 25, 2015This is the music to drown out all other stimuli, and have a hell of a time while doing it.

Jun 15, 2015There might be a song here entitled Failing At Fun Since 1981, but this album is stupidly good fun and, on top of it all, an unmitigated success.

Jun 15, 2015If success means overpowering the senses with creepy, captivating dissonance, KEN Mode are clutching a real triumph.
-
Jun 15, 2015Although Success is a very solid album, from a band that have already proved themselves consistently capable of churning out suitably bad-tempered and obtrusively loud material, it’s hard to feel it’s anything we haven’t heard before, which makes it far more underwhelming than its generally high quality content suggests it should be.

Jun 15, 2015Unveiled and ineffectual, Matthewson’s gripes get boring quickly. The sense that you’ve heard these songs before--or at least their frameworks and tricks--doesn’t help.
-
Jun 17, 2015At its best, KEN Mode grabs handfuls of patches from heavy, pissed off bands and sews them together into a single misanthropic flag. By honing in on a smaller set of influences on Success, the trio are forced to blow up their image to a much larger scale.

Kerrang!Jul 15, 2015It plays out like a sulking child trapped in the seat of a supermarket trolley. [18 Jul 2015, p.52]
