  1. 9.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It feels like Disappears have managed to kidnap the very essence of what Rock and Roll is, or has ever been, and torture it until it cries out in pain for twenty-seven sinewy, scabrous minutes

  2. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    Sure, there are a few jagged edges, but it's as groovy as it is heavy, with hooks to spare, making for one of the most enjoyable albums of the year so far

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It’s all intentionally disorienting, like all good, loud music should be, with the intoxicating buzz of the songs left ringing in your ears long after you’ve finished listening

  4. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Disappears have created a raw, lo-fi yet no less brilliant album

  5. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    The Chicago four piece may not be the most original, but this is far from a lazy re-run, demonstrating that there is plenty of life in what has gone before

  6. 6.9 |   Pitchfork

    That they're able to make these well-worn rock tropes feel quite so menacing after all this time is an achievement in its own right
