  1. 10.0 |   Art Rocker

    Foxx's songwriting is as sharp as any of Bowie's latter day efforts, while his use of science fiction to mystify and un-nerve is unparalleled. Moog-tastic!

  2. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    Continues to make his most startlingly contemporary sounding music in years

  3. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    An incredibly assured piece of work, machine like in its execution but revealing a soulful, tender exterior

    Some particularly special pop music

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    As good as any of Foxx's early-'80s benchmarks. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   Uncut

    The original alienated synthesist, still exploring the analogue. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    While it would be easy to dismiss The Shape of Things as an exercise in nostalgia it also feels eerily like an album very much about the now rather than an album about the past

    Silvered Foxx shows synth-pop revivalists how it's done. Print edition only
