  1. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Full of interest and rewards repeated listening
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    It’s not quite a classic, but certainly one of the strongest of the last decade or so
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Re-Mit might not be the record on which Smith finally relinquishes language altogether in favour of communicating in only a dry-mouthed hangover gargle, but it’s close

  4. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    As with nearly all of the Fall, this album does what it wants to do, forcing the listener to submit to its terms
    Read Review

  5. 7.3 |   Paste Magazine

    Nothing about this album makes a lick of sense. If you’re a longtime obsessive fan of the group (and really there is no other kind), though, you don’t really care if it does

  6. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Never have The Fall sounded so brilliantly abstruse or downright weird
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   NME

    It sounds like E Smith is actually having fun
    Read Review

  8. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    Mark E. Smith was already a cranky old man when he started the Fall at the age of 19; now that he’s 56, he’s eager to act like a child

  9. 6.8 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Some of the strange humour and twisted narratives, sorely lacking from their last release Ersatz G.B., are back

  10. 6.0 |   Mojo

    As ever, some ace stuff aboard here. Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Re-Mit isn't going to win over anyone who isn't already a Fall devotee. They're too aggressively idiosyncratic for casual listeners

  12. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Not wonderful, but certainly frightening. Print edition only

  13. 5.0 |   All Music

    For hardcore fans only
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   musicOMH

    Throughout the entire album, you’re left wondering how Smith, who is responsible for some of the most untouchable, spontaneous punk classics of all time, could muster the audacity to purposefully sound like such a parody of his previous self

  15. 4.0 |   The Independent

    "Irish" and "Jetplane" bring a late flicker of focus to the proceedings, but the band's resolute primitivism works to their detriment
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   Q

    Standards slip on the 30th album. Print edition only

  17. 3.0 |   The Quietus

    Re-Mit's inscrutably bellicose moments just set the teeth on edge, and serve as indicators of the lack of imagination and incisiveness which pervades this album
