  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Zeros is a remarkable album in that it constitutes a memorable, meaningful ordeal, combining electronic spasms with post-punk spirit

  2. 8.1 |   PlayGround

    There are still those very dry drum-machines that seem like a punch in the face, harsh atmospheres, whirling synthesizers, occasional bursts of toxic sound, the smell of tar, those nervous guitars that are a legacy of Joy Division

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    The driving basslines and whispered chants on "Zeros" and "Insides" may not be the stuff of hit singles, but they have a glowering catchiness that does their post-punk heritage proud

  4. 7.5 |   Paste Magazine

    Zeros contains 10 individual songs, though, like its predecessor, it’s best expressed as a monolithic slab of music, and one ominous slab at that

  5. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Zeros comes together like a swarming continuation of Total Decay's suffocating goth-tinged synth-driven post-punk

  6. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    They are a group that exist solely to make abstruse, dark and head spinning noise. As such, Zeros accomplishes its goals very well

  7. 7.0 |   DIY

    Whilst ‘Zeros’ is as hypnotic as you’d expect, it is still just a distillation that contains the essences of the band’s recognisable sound, and it is not exactly a huge, creative innovation

  8. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    There is a cool factor to Zeros that seems to transcend a hipness quota, a natural blankness that’s almost character-driven

  9. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Ends up capturing a sinister cinematic vibe that John Carpenter would be proud of. Print edition only

  10. 6.5 |   Under The Radar

    The way he swamps punk's chaotic ideals with a hardcore electronica décor is impressive

  11. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    As with The Soft Moon’s self-titled debut, Zeros harnesses claustrophobia whole through a series of detached musings, smothering the listener with an atmospheric soundtrack of delusion
