  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Much of IM is thrillingly intense, then; a rabbit punch with pop-prog interludes and Devo-like hooks. Print edtion only

    And though it may feel very familiar indeed, you’ll start asking yourself quite where you’ve heard it before

  5. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    This record is both a rocket and a time machine, fusing influences so thoroughly that the sum of their parts are barely discernible, and offering both comfort in the familiar and an escape from our current time it hurtles you into orbit

  6. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

    Overall, it’s another great record from a peerless band that, year after year, reinvent themselves. And, each time, they deliver the goods. One can only wonder where they’ll take us next?

  9. 5.0 |   Loud And Quiet
