  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Time's Arrow is Ladytron's equivalent of Simple Minds' early-'80s heyday, where burnished synth-pop meets the hyperreality of travel. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Does venture a little outside their comfort zone - the lush "California" is a Cocteau Twins fever dream - but they're at their best closer to home on the career high of "Misery Remember Me", a glittering palace of gothic Italo disco. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Time's Arrow is a collection of damn fine synth-pop from Ladytron

  8. 7.0 |   DIY

    The sheer beauty of every detail is impressive, if not a little tiring

  9. 6.9 |   Pitchfork

    On its seventh album, the Liverpool electro-pop band reaches for a lighter sound, capturing the passage of time in effervescent synths and impressionistic lyrics

  10. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Time’s Arrow is marked by Helen Marnie’s characteristic, somewhat distant vocals and an icy electronica sound

  11. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Although Ladytron's seventh album might have benefited from a lighter touch in places, it still manages to offer up a transcendent space to lose yourself
