  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Wallop is so confident in its ecclecticism, but it really impresses when the more simplistic, unpretentious urge to move hips and raise hands takes the fore

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Dance-punk band, !!! darken the edges of their sound and look beyond the dancefloor on Wallop. It's one of the group's most consistently interesting and cohesive albums to date

  3. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    The New York party monsters change course, embracing the sounds of the ’90s and getting in touch with their feelings

  5. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Occasionally on Wallop, !!! sound either too world-weary or too committed to being incendiary to relay ideas relevant to listeners. But at their best, the band maintain their convictions about privilege, power and culture and present them as defiant, monumental tracks

  6. 6.5 |   Under The Radar

    Perhaps there's something unexpected at work on Wallop. If the drama seems too great, the system too powerful, at the very least we have the present moment in which we can dance with all manner of sweaty rebellion

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    An ass-shaking blend of disco, house, '80s pop with apparent self-awareness. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Genuinely surprising moments are scarcer on much of Wallop, with rudimentary workouts outnumbering the fresher like of "$50 Million" and its super-charged Chic groove. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   DIY

    The most fun !!! have ever been

  10. 5.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    There are moments of spontaneous fun to be had at !!!’s erratic party but too often the buzz is killed by listless beats and half-baked social commentary

  11. 4.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Wallop doesn’t really have any actual hits, no matter how hard it tries
