  1. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    Music that works on a deeper level of cerebral stimulation, managing to perfect the fine balance between information and emotional evocation in its delivery

  2. 8.0 |   NME

    For all its lofty attempts at deconstructing the digital age, spurns beard-stroking for a hefty whomp of steely-eyed beauty

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    The Shallows finds I Like Trains at the top of their game. An extraordinary and evocative return

  4. 8.0 |   The Fly

    As a soundtrack to your nightmares, it’s strangely beautiful

  5. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    The kind of album you could imagine being piped into a flotation tank to keep you occupied for hours

  6. 7.1 |   Beats Per Minute

  8. 7.0 |   DIY

  10. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The Shallows lacks a dynamism, especially in the second half, that will put off less attentive listeners
