  1. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It feels like sacrilege to admit that the best songs on this album are actually the mournful, introspective slowies towards its end

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    This record could have been made by men of independent leanings at any time in the last quarter century. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It's the effortless pendulum swing between the breakneck efforts and the more delicate numbers that gives Beer In The Breakers its mandate

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    If being musically proficient is somehow vulgar, then The Wave Pictures are positively obscene

  5. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A slightly incoherent listen

  6. 7.0 |   Subba Cultcha

    A great summer record full of juxtaposed joy and sorrow

  7. 6.5 |   Bowlegs

    The Wave Pictures aren’t constantly looking for new directions, they just want to play, be it on the stage or the studio – and you can feel it all over ‘Beer in the Breakers’.

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    There is plenty to enjoy here. Print edition only

  9. 5.1 |   Pitchfork

    The problem with Beer in the Breakers isn't one of culture or slang so much as a narrator who is almost wholly forgettable - their stories are boring

  10. 4.0 |   Clash

    It was apparently recorded in one day at producer Darren Hayman's house. You can tell. As utterly forgettable as Miller Lite
