  2. 9.0 |   Blurt

    Will be figuring prominently on 2010 year-end best-of lists very shortly
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Culture Deluxe

    Crocodiles have entered the mainstream in the best possible way – by retreading the classics with 21st century spirit

  4. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    Crocodiles have taken a huge step forward, and it is a challenging record that will probably keep you sleepless over summer

  5. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    While Summer Of Hate had more character, Sleep Forever has the harder punch; it's now up to the band what they do with it

  6. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Crocodiles have more swagger, and more of an actual, crowd-pleasing rock star quality than pretty much every other band in their specific scene

  7. 8.0 |   BBC

    If San Diego’s Crocodiles sound flawless on paper, they damn well prove it on record
    Read Review

  8. 7.6 |   Beats Per Minute

    Their brand is a reverb-heavy psychedelic sound reminiscent of The Velvet Underground and The Jesus and Mary Chain

  9. 7.0 |   The Fly

    The fuzz has been shaved away and what remains is slick, sharp and damn cool
    Read Review

  10. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    It's brasher, fuller, woolier, with little shards of sound scraping against the speakers, laying on the much-needed grit
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Largely feels like it’s been done before, but it still manages to entertain
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Detractors will say Crocodiles still sound like a...somewhat clearer photocopy of the psychnoiseshoegazepop blueprint. Yet there are times when a photocopy can be sharp enough to leave you wholly satisfied

  13. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    While they’ve given up the good, gutsy rock that came courtesy of moody guitars, they’ve amped up efforts in creating more stable, mature, lyrical choices
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   BBC

    If Sleep Forever still doesn’t represent that defining artistic intent, it’s certainly a small step up on the debut

  15. 6.0 |   Q

    Choruses that fans of Kasabian would do well to investigate. Print edition only

  16. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Has some encouraging moments, but it seems Crocodiles aren’t quite sure what it is they want to do
    Read Review

  17. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Sleep Forever won’t actually put you to sleep, but it won’t stir anything else up, either
