  1. 80
    While they have been slowly inching in the direction of a purer pop record post-"Simple Things," Binns and Hardaker seem to have finally found their stride.
  2. Filter
    70
    Besides a couple of limp late-album tag-ons, it appears that, for once, the kings of chill-out have gotten downright animated. [Fall 2009, p.96]
  3. The music on Yeah Ghost is still Zero 7-but after a few cans of musical Red Bull.
  4. Uncut
    60
    Album four sees tracks pushing more into more arcane territory, but otherwise we see Zero 7 putting a subtle electronic spin on Elton John, Syreeta, Pentangle and Nick Drake. [Oct 2009, p.123]
  5. Q Magazine
    60
    While 'Pop Art Blue' strays a little close to coffee table pop, it's an absorbing jouney. [Oct 2009, p.119]
  6. Here's hoping that the pleasant-at-best Yeah Ghost is but a wispy, passing apparition, and not a haunting omen for similarly ineffective work in the future.
  7. Under The Radar
    30
    Yeah Ghost is simply too experimental. [Fall 2009, p.74]

Sometimes album aren't really inspired by something and just by accident there's an experimental and very fresh result. Expand
