  1. 9.0 |   BBC

    A record so brilliantly brutal and fizzing with ferocious energy that it feels like you’re plonked face-down in grime and battered relentlessly with beer, sweat and dodgy bodily fluids

  2. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Almost everything is under three-and-a-half minutes, and there's the brilliant High Five, Swan Dive, Nose Dive, which combines a verse and chorus set in different time signatures

  4. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

  6. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A terrific album, then. Not only for the intensity, depth and sheer volume to be found on it, but also for its appealing quirks, the smattering of down-to-earth humour and the unexpected stylistic variations

    A winning formula refined and rehearsed to bring out its full potential

  8. 8.0 |   The Fly

  9. 8.0 |   NME

    It’s a hard trick to capture that live lightning in a bottle while not sounding like an under-produced mess. But scene go-to-guy James Kenosha has managed it

  10. 8.0 |   Culture Deluxe

    Don’t expect lyrical eloquence, musical complexity or poetic aptitude. However do expect balls to the wall rock and roll that will make your ears bleed and your heart pump

  11. 7.0 |   The 405

    The math-rock influences become steadily more obvious as the album progresses but the song structures tend to still resemble some good standard pop music, like what Hell's boy bands must sound like

Lorde  Virgin

Because for all the grand ideas here, it feels like Lorde has more to say about them, and as the aesthetic and songcraft of Virgin illustrates — almost despite all of this — she is more than skilled enough to do so Beats Per Minute

Frankie Cosmos  Different Talking

Different Talking feels like Frankie Cosmos finally coming into its own. By self-producing, the band articulates a broader sound palette than on 2022’s Inner World Peace Northern Transmissions
