    Good thing is there inspiring lyrics are ram packed in here with some eye opening stuff, though i feel that the passion and aggressiveness of the previous albums has faded away, the sense of struggle to fight off the tyrants and unite humanity has disappeared and that is quite sad as it was what made us love ES, Most of the songs in this album didn't move me or make me want to rise up andGood thing is there inspiring lyrics are ram packed in here with some eye opening stuff, though i feel that the passion and aggressiveness of the previous albums has faded away, the sense of struggle to fight off the tyrants and unite humanity has disappeared and that is quite sad as it was what made us love ES, Most of the songs in this album didn't move me or make me want to rise up and support there causes, Maybe due to ES's previous A* albums i hold standards at an A* level for them! check out The Last Garrison and The Appeal and Mind Sweep II… Expand

    The Mindsweep is the most enjoyable album Enter Shikari have ever made. [3 Jan 2015, p.52]

    Enter Shikari have made their mark with a hybrid theory of conflicting ideas but, unsure where they sit between Rage Against The Machine and Radiohead, it lacks real conviction.

    It’s a shame that on The Mindsweep, Shikari's message is occasionally lost among the madness.
