  1. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    There is a frisson of surly attitude throughout, and several thrilling moments, such as the punch of the keyboard and drums when This New Technology hones into view, or the gutsy riff of Lara Versus The Savage Pack, comfortably out muscling the likes of Kasabian

  2. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The sound of a band defying expectations and testing their limits, while continuing to evade fitting into any single musical category

  3. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    It blows Dystopia out of the water in terms of scope, ambitious sonic terrain and what really feels like importance, which is no easy feat

  9. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    What they lack in subtlety, they more than make up for with an ear for a pop hook
