Aug 28, 2015Best tracks: Birch tree, Give it all, Lonely Hunter, Knife in the Ocean
A great album that fixes the small mistakes made in Holy Fire and keeps the brilliant sounds of their still best album "Total Life Forever". What Went Down has a unique sound and stands for itself as probably the best album of the year. -

Oct 12, 2015I wasn't a Foals fan before listening to this album. I have listened to the album more than 10 times and I can't get enough of it. Don't single out any track and listen to the album from the beginning to the end. It made me go back and listen to their previous albums as well, which was great! Now I have found a new favorite band

Aug 31, 2015"What Went Down" is a record full of emotion and pure inspiration. It's electrifying moments, like the song "What Went Down", can hit you like a thunder, while the record shows it's emotional colors, in songs like the captivating "London Thunder".

Jan 30, 2016Successeur de Holy Fire, cet album est une pure réussite. Le groupe revient à des sons plus rock qui ont fait leur renommée.
Coup de cœur: What Went Down & Mountain At My Gates. -

Sep 11, 2015Barring a couple solid songs that fit their catalog fairly nicely, What Went Down offers nothing that their previous albums don’t deliver in a much more satisfying and ample way.

Sep 2, 2015There's always a sense of worry that once a band loses its chaotic edge, its youthful exuberance, it takes a step back, but this isn't quite the case with Foals on What Went Down.

Sep 2, 2015There are superficial differences in aggression—slightly more electronic buzzing, harsher vocals, gristly guitars. It’s Foals’ raw record, but it’s still filet mignon tartare.... What Went Down is their most consistent, steady-handed work yet.
