  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Angry, innovative and often ahead of the curve. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   BBC

    The group’s melding together of dance music, metal riffs, punk energy and vocals that sound English rather than Californian make A Flash Flood of Colour not only a compelling effort, but an appropriately named one to boot

  5. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    They're hysterically fun, but perhaps easier to admire in the abstract than really adore
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Enter Shikari have created an album that, for better or worse, pushes boundaries both sonically and thematically, and the end result is a thoroughly entertaining album

  7. 7.8 |   The AU Review

    The one thing Enter Shikari do extremely well, is make it virtually impossible to pigeon hole this band to a genre or even make comparisons to their sound

  9. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    An enterprising, if somewhat patchy work by four guys creating a bit of musical mayhem on their own terms

  10. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The bottom line is, if you aren't bolstered by Reynolds' strangulated punk scream, you're either dead or of voting age

  11. 4.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Kicks off with a pained metaphor comparing modern Britain to a clifftop house threatened by coastal erosion, and doesn't let up from there

The sounds are slightly different here than on previous albums and his tentative sojourn into singing is a success because his voice connects as easily as his rapping does Albumism

Lorde  Virgin

Lorde trades in her secrecy and mystique for a tremendously healing, desperately relatable record that cements her mark as her generation’s defining artist Northern Transmissions
