  1. 8.0 |   The 405

    Blood Red Shoes is the band going back to what they know best, but with a more wisened approach

  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The riotously fun sound of a band who have well and truly cast off the shackles

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Carrying almost nothing in the way of flab, Blood Red Shoes is the band standing entirely on their own four feet - a rare occurrence in modern music

  4. 7.0 |   Uncut

    The smart hooks and spiky lyrics all present and correct. Print edition only

  5. 7.0 |   NME

    Renowned for a ferocious live sound, the tempestuous Brighton duo still can't quite capture it on album four. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   DIY

  7. 6.0 |   Q

    Like another Berlin visitor before them, they've found a lust for life. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

  11. 5.0 |   The Music

    Ultimately, Blood Red Shoes the album does little to differentiate Blood Red Shoes the band from their influences

  12. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    It’s frustrating to hear these songs, as another band with more interest in pushing themselves to the limit could make them burst with ravenous, angry energy
