  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Abba are clearly a huge influence on Music Go Music and even though it’s so obvious that stating it seems lazy, it is hard to imagine anyone hearing Expressions and not remarking on the similarity

    There won't be a much more fun record to "woah woah woah" along to in you car too all year

    Guilty pleasure or not, Music Go Music have created an album it's easy to enjoy. Sometimes that's more than enough

  6. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Standout "Light Of Love" begins in a mood of galactic melancholy before bursting into hands-in-the-air abandon

  7. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    An obvious homage to ABBA, the Carpenters, ELO, and other purveyors of the unironic, sugary pop that was a mainstay of 1970s radio. And perhaps not since those bands themselves has someone made such assuredly hooky, dramatically multi-layered tunes such as these.

    Music Go Music has created the perfect pop song, played nine times over

  9. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    As much as you might want to hate Expressions for all its over-the-top posturing and fantastical fetishizing of both karaoke culture and Me Decade pomposity, you will love the beautiful noise Music Go Music bring to the table

  10. 6.0 |   NME

    That means Music Go Music are heavily armed with killer pop tunes, but there are times when the album starts to slip into wedding DJ territory

    Could’ve been uber-cool Tarantino soundtrack material

  12. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    The majority of Expressions sounds like the great lost Abba album, with booty shaking radio-pop romps and melancholic disco odysseys

  13. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    MGM have no dignity- they smell too much of cheerleader club for that- but they do have several good tunes
