  1. 8.0 |   The List

    As an album Witch Bitch? is all over the shop, with 14 disparate tracks united only by a familiar upstart attitude, unchecked ambition and Tayside patter.

  2. 7.0 |   Clash

    Mischievous melodies and chaotic choruses abound, and while this is perhaps not the masterpiece they have in them, time is on their side.

  3. 7.0 |   NME

    There’s little here that’ll appeal to the hundreds of thousands of people who bought ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’.

  4. 7.0 |   Observer Music Monthly

    Which Bitch? confirms that the View are a band with a vibrant imagination and an abundance of ideas.

  5. 6.0 |   Scotland on Sunday

    The second album from the Dundee scamps is every bit as snotty as their debut, but this time there's a hint of sophistication to transport the quartet to the Threepenny Opera as effortlessly as a three-chord thrash.

  6. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    The latest from this scruffy Scottish quartet has the swagger of those who already have a number one album tucked into their filthy jeans.

  7. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    For better or worse, The View had been so busy living it up on tour that only half the songs to have made it on to the album were written prior to going into the studio. Consequently there is a sense of spontaneity about the results.

  8. 4.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    They've overreached the limits of their own intellects.

  9. 4.0 |   musicOMH

    Although it's refreshing to see The View developing in new directions, Which Bitch? smacks of self-indulgence... All in all this is a serious disappointment from a band of whom much more was expected.

  10. 2.0 |   The Guardian

    By the end of it, you may need a long bath.

  11. 2.0 |   The Observer

    The scamps have become oafs, with charmless songs about drunken rabble-rousing and girls.
    Read Review

  12. 2.0 |   The Quietus

    Adopting an attitude that sees the lads throwing everything they can at the wall in the hope that something – just something – will stick, The View end up pleasing nobody.
