  1. 9.0 |   The Quietus

    A genuine tour de force, returning Rolo Tomassi to very vanguard of extreme rock

  2. 9.0 |   Culture Deluxe

    Often on the brink of madness, and barely anchored to musical tradition, Rolo Tomassi have equalled the passion, the intensity, the ferocity, the brilliance of their debut, and raised it skyward

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Refinement and creative condensation are undoubtedly strong qualities for a second album from a band as young as this, and the result is a dynamic, shape-shifting LP with charm and playability

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

  9. 6.0 |   FasterLouder

    This record is certainly a step forward for the band, and is much more planned and relaxed than their debut, but perhaps on the next one, they will let the oddly chosen producer shine through a little more

  11. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only
