  1. 9.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    We’ve got the thought-packed kaleidoscope of Alopecia in evidence, a fair bit of the singy-songyness of Eskimo Snow (though much better), and even a streak of the earliest, most adventurous Why?

  2. 8.5 |   BBC

    Whets the appetite for a new album in a sparkling, confident fashion. And for any listeners yet to bear witness to WHY?’s wicked, warped and wonderful world, it is an ideal place to begin

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    A superb return that’s both familiar and exotic, the only real complaint is that a full album remains months away

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    These tracks show a band full of invention, confidence and the knowledge of what makes them so unique

    2008's 'Alopecia' is his masterwork, and 'Sod The Seed' his best stuff since. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Sod in the Seed opens and closes strong, sags in the middle, and succeeds in driving the demand for even more Why? material

  10. 6.0 |   Under The Radar

    Yoni Wolf sounds much more upbeat than when we last left him, but his dry wit hasn’t dulled

  11. 5.2 |   Pitchfork

    While Sod in the Seed EP picks up where WHY? left off, it sounds like a regression rather than a rightful claim to what's theirs. For the first time, a band that always follows its wildly erratic muse sounds the way they think you want them to
