    There’s nothing over-complicated here. Murderopolis is 11 fine tracks from a band that should really be reaching more ears

    An adventurous record that stirs the blood. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   DIY

    It makes for a simple, great album. A simply great album. That reminds you of a bunch of other artists, while sounding sufficiently different to keep your interest piqued

  6. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    It's testament to Sparrow and the Workshop's ability and vision that despite their missteps they still manage to sound better than most bands on both sides of the divide, be they pop-rock dollar-chasers or worthy-but-dull indie mumblers

  10. 6.0 |   The 405

    May not be as folk-based as the band's previous releases, but features like the rhythm section's masterful rhythmic timing and O'Sullivan's vocal efforts are sure to be familiar sounds to fans everywhere
