  1. 10.0 |   Dork

    They’ve served up a glittering, galaxy-brain feast that pushes the boundaries of what pop music can be. Get on board or get left behind – this rocket ship waits for no one

  2. 9.0 |   DIY

    Confident, self-aware, and ambitious

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Dreamland may have been the album that made Glass Animals big, but song for song, I Love You So F***ing Much's thoughtful, anxious pop might be more rewarding

  4. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Sees Glass Animals navigate a tricky tightrope between the ascendancy of their last album and a self-knowing tricksiness that accompanied other works – taunting energy that belies ten tracks showcasing the band at their most introspective

  5. 7.0 |   Clash

    At times it feels that the concept slightly overpowers the album, but overall it’s a confident and well-crafted album that feels like it could be front and centre of an eclectic sci-fi soundtrack from the eighties

  6. 6.7 |   Spectrum Culture

    Even when not at their best, Glass Animals still know how to sling a hook

  7. 4.0 |   The Observer

    The Oxford four-piece follow their global hit Heat Waves with a painstakingly inoffensive fourth album that’s all surface

  8. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    The British band’s fourth album smooshes interesting influences into pleasant homogeneity that won’t wash in today’s personality-led pop world

  9. 4.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Good moments are in few and far between and ultimately outweighed by indistinguishable trendy pop, an abundance of badly rhymed lyrics and Dave Bayley’s voice, once uniquely charming, drags along and increasingly and irritatingly is becoming like the most robotic side of Adam Levin

  10. 4.0 |   Exclaim

    It's crazy how much of I Love You So F***ing Much blends together into a bundle of overwrought choruses and synth brick walls, even when you hit shuffle

  11. 3.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    There’s just so very little here to work with, and even as a listener who’s dying to find things to like about this album, every minute spent revisiting it feels like a minute wasted. I sure hope they have it in them to rebound from this disastrous release

  12. 2.0 |   Far Out

    There are moments of interest, intriguing metaphors, or glimpses at a Glass Animals of the past, but the album as a whole fails to build upon the genre that the band exist within
