  1. 9.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Pretty much flawless, unashamed of its frequent moments of cheesiness and its less than fashionable influences
    Read Review

  2. 8.8 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    A dance record boiled down to its most essential, body-shaking elements, and the purest distillation of Cut Copy’s music and their ethos yet
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Dance tent, main stage, club, arena: The songs will connect anywhere
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   The Fly

    They’ve remembered there’s nothing inherently wrong with channelling a love for house, electro and dreamy acoustic strum-alongs into intelligent, radio-friendly bangers
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   The 405

    Though Cut Copy may cherrypick their eclectic styles, it flows flawlessly. Embark upon their journey. Enter their Vengabus

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

    Cut Copy may have left behind the monochromatic brilliance of their early work, but the explosion of colors they've added like Jackson Pollock on a bender has only made their growth more interesting and enriching
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Takes their infectious mixture of kitschy disco beats and hipster-approved party glam to a new psychedelic level
    Read Review

  8. 7.5 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    An album that’s sure to make early Acid House DJ pioneers such as Danny Rampling, Paul Oakenfold, and Nicky Holloway smile as they reminisce about that 1987 summer in Ibiza
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Clash

    Provides additional rewards for those willing to disentangle its layered arrangements
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Looks to the two summer's of love - psychedelia in 1967 and rave in -89 - for inspiration. Print edition only

  11. 7.0 |   NME

    It’s nothing new, but it is fun
    Read Review

  12. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    A worthy addition to the band’s impressive catalog. Still, it’s hard not to think about the perfection that might have been
    Read Review

  13. 6.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A hypnotic and intermittently enjoyable experience, which whilst a little overextended and at times as shallow as the music it pastiches, marks a convincing enough return for Cut Copy
    Read Review

  14. 6.4 |   Pitchfork

    Manages to be Cut Copy's most homogenous and it's most "message-based" record yet
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Oz quartet's Madchester-inspired fourth album. Print edition only

  16. 6.0 |   DIY

    It's a 'take it or leave it' kind of record, but invest in Cut Copy's deranged aims and it'll feel like being part of a free-spirited cult
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Like most earnest attempts to reimagine the past, it’s an entertaining indulgence. One that exists to stave off the nagging question: what comes next?
    Read Review

  18. 5.0 |   The Quietus

    You're having fun – on tracks like the stellar title-track and the popping candy overload of 'Let Me Show You Love' you can't help it - but increasingly it feels hollow
    Read Review

  19. 5.0 |   Slant Magazine

    The neon-slicked dynamism that defined their songwriting for three straight albums is absent, leaving their once-sleek, libertine melodies unwieldy and limp
    Read Review

  20. 5.0 |   musicOMH

    Everything about Free Your Mind, from its title to its monotonous songs, is undeniably lazy
    Read Review

  21. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    The melodies and hooks, hitherto Cut Copy staples, are sadly missing
    Read Review

  22. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    An homage that seems to have entirely missed the point
    Read Review

  23. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    If this album is Cut Copy’s idea of a religious experience, then I’m fine with excommunication—namely, not listening to most of these songs ever again
    Read Review

  24. 4.0 |   Spin

    Free Your Mind takes nine jams and five tracks of trippy dialogue snippets to accomplish in 50 minutes what the Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" did in eight, in 1990
