  3. 9.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    May just have seen Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra produce a classic. At the very least it is the culmination of a discography that has always been leading to this as its high point

  4. 9.0 |   All Music

    Menuck's gift for intimate, sweeping melody remains, but it's usually woven underneath a rafter-rattling 21st century meld of punk, metal, folk forms, and more

  5. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

  9. 8.0 |   Pitchfork

    The great strides made on the band’s seventh album aren’t so much musical — it’s a logical extension of 2010’s Kollaps Tradixionales—but philosophical: This time, it’s personal
