The production really highlights the growth in the band’s sound and stature, building mercilessly throughout the record and easily holding your attention to the very end. Royal Blood are sounding as good as they’ve ever been

Kerrang!
So confident and perfectly measured are Royal Blood here that, while definitely focused on the stars, they sound like they never noticed the gutter was there in the first place. It’s rock’n’roll lit up by a disco ball, and has there ever been a time when we’ve needed that more?

There are one or two songs people would probably return to or maybe even add to a playlist, but most people will return to their first album, which offers up everything that Royal Blood really is

No Ripcord
After 35 minutes filled with one kinetic power-chord to the next with the littlest variation, Typhoons spreads itself too thin
