  1. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Notably stronger than its simultaneously released sister album, Heavy Rocks, and should have an extra appeal to fans of Boris’s breakout metal albums

  2. 8.0 |   Spin

    The least "metal" thing the band have released to date, which focuses on icy rhythms and smoky moods, as if they're slinking up alongside the xx

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    In pairing subtle hints of their drone and rock background with electronica and even faint touches of funk, this is a work that slots neatly into their history of genre cross-contamination

  4. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    An often puzzling albeit enthralling and super-malleable “fuck you” to the safety of classification

  5. 8.0 |   NME

    They're in a class of their own. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  7. 7.1 |   Pitchfork

    This at least offers something fresh for Boris

  8. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    The album could only be considered experimental in that it captures Boris experimenting with being conventional

  9. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Has good songs, but as a whole, there are pieces missing

  10. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Attention Please is just as heavy with the hooks, but not so with the sound; far less typically Boris-like than Heavy Rocks

  11. 6.6 |   Beats Per Minute

    If nothing else, it proves Boris can do this softer pop-informed rock, but ultimately it holds more untapped potential than success

  12. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  13. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It seems likely that Attention Please will earn a better reputation than Heavy Rocks. Without setting oneself up as a contrarian, this review is cheerleading for the latter

  14. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Suffers slightly from this unhurried and vaguely soporific approach
