  5. 8.0 |   Dork

    Cinematic and superbly absurd, Fat Dog haven’t just given you a taste of what Doomsday will look like; they’ve got you actively looking forward to it
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Clash

    As this breathless debut comes to a close, you’re left with the challenge of summing it all up, obtaining meaning from the meaningless, and purpose from the glittering void

  7. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It's the sound of a society unraveling, and Fat Dog has captured it
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    WOOF is a record that could only be made in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. One that, magpie-like, pilfers the styles, attitudes and assumptions that have powered these islands’ pop music over the past sixty years

  9. 7.5 |   Under The Radar

    A debut that serves its main purposes, establishing Fat Dog as a band to watch and making some music for folks to lose their minds to

  10. 7.4 |   Paste Magazine

    WOOF. leans too far into its theatricality to be the barreling, hedonistic music it gestures toward. But at its best, it’s about thrills, novelty and big-tent grandeur

  11. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    A blindingly fun prospect that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this is music to dance to like the end of the world is nigh

  12. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Coming in at just over half-an-hour, it captures their battering zing

  13. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Outlandish musical choices from oompah to sleaze should make the Londoners’ debut feel fresh, but they’re the latest interlopers in a crowded experimental field

  14. 6.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Prolific producer James Ford bringing his fondness for strings and these on occasion give listeners a calm breather among the frantic ear-splitting
    Read Review

  15. 5.7 |   Pitchfork

    The UK’s latest post-punk export has built its rep on antic live shows and costumed hijinks. But on record, Fat Dog’s arch dance-punk fusion feels more calculated than provocatively chaotic

  16. 4.0 |   Far Out

    Make no mistake, you’re dealing with exceptional musical minds with Fat Dog, but as far as a debut is concerned, WOOF. hardly warrants a listen
