    Savage, funny, wise and inspiring

  2. 8.0 |   State

    The Logic of Chance, proves Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip are no novelty act. Initially it hits with minor appeal but repeated listens show just how good this intelligent, beat-heavy, hip-hop/poetry combo is

  3. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    There are some tracks where he smacks you around with delirious torrents of vocab, but there are fewer of his Old Testament rants with jokes and more repetition

  9. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip's second album continues in the forthright, socially-conscious manner of their debut, offering a grim but lively account of the British social landscape

  10. 6.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    The lyrics tackle everything from knife crime to heartfelt demands for active citizenship, all intermingled with punchy dance-floor numbers

  11. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    ... sees the pair merely retracting past glories, with many of the tracks failing to make a mark in such an audacious manner as before

  12. 6.0 |   The Fly

    Its heart, and brain, may be in the right place but there’s very little here as instant, stand-out or hooky enough to appeal beyond devotee’s of Pip’s intellect

  13. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    There are moments of genius... but The Logic of Chance lacks the duo's original off-the-cuff appeal

  14. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    There's perhaps just enough clever wordplay and hooks to get by on, but one can't help feeling this duo have come up against the limitations of their sound

  15. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    The more you listen, the more you have to hear Scroobius Pip, and the less enjoyable the experience will be

  16. 4.0 |   The List

    Light years away from ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’s glory

  17. 4.0 |   musicOMH

    They really need to exercise some quality control
    Read Review

  18. 4.0 |   The Sunday Times

    David Peter Meads abandons the lyrical looseness of their first album in favour of a hectoring, repetitive approach

  19. 4.0 |   The Observer

    Like being lectured by an irritatingly trendy supply teacher
    Read Review

  20. 2.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    They’re much closer to Just Jack’s birthday card banality than Buck 65 or The Streets
