  1. 10.0 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    The stakes of this music are so high – dizzyingly high, perilously so. Life-or-death high. Perfect Pussy are so good, it ought to embarrass most of their peers

  2. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    Absolutely stunning – a blistering mission statement from a band with undoubtable promise and inextinguishable fire. Sonic Youth is dead. Long live Perfect Pussy

  4. 8.6 |   Pitchfork

    Perfect Pussy have been criticized for the buried vocals and often unintelligible lyrics, but the approach serves a purpose

  5. 8.5 |   Beardfood

    Get lost in the swirl of coagulated insanity

  6. 8.5 |   Paste Magazine

    There’s a lot of barefaced emotion on this album, but Graves is no bleeding heart

  7. 8.0 |   The Music

    The vicious energy becomes life-affirming to the point of revelation
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   Entertainment.ie

    Say Yes to Love is a clarion call, a shrill reminder that rock music retains the capacity to thrill and excite when played with the white heat and sheer abandonment on display here
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   Fact

    20-odd minutes of urgent expulsion that leaves you feeling exhausted, elated and renewed
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   All Music

    The only way to fully absorb their music is to put in the time with repeated listening and reading the lyrics. Fortunately, that's not a problem with an album as thought-provoking as Say Yes to Love

  11. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    A heart-punch of an album – eight songs, 23 minutes – where the words are mostly buried under guitar feedback and synth squeals
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Flurries of post-hardcore insanity shunt into passages of incandescent storm-damaged chords. Print edition only

  13. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Not a second of it is wasted, and just about every moment is brilliant

  14. 8.0 |   NME

    Melodies are buried alive under a ton of aural dirt
    Read Review

  15. 8.0 |   DIY

    The album does exactly what it needs to do without a second to spare
    Read Review

  16. 8.0 |   Spin

    A terse, pile-driving response to societal expectations of happiness, and especially femininity
    Read Review

  17. 7.9 |   Earbuddy

    Jam-packed with ceaseless action that will leave fans of Iceage and Pussy Riot coming back for multiple hits

  18. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Their thorny noise pit might occlude itself to many listeners — it’s not pretty, and it’s not for everyone. Those who recognize themselves in the havoc, though, will find themselves nesting there for a long while to come

  19. 7.5 |   The 405

    Though you may need to brace yourself in preparation, you'll survive to welcome round two with open arms
    Read Review

  20. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Say Yes To Love ultimately sees Perfect Pussy getting out ahead of itself, suggesting the band would be better served securing an identity before attempting to redefine it
    Read Review

  21. 6.0 |   Under The Radar

    Perfect Pussy is almost definitely a band to be experienced live rather than on record, but as statements of intent go, Say Yes to Love is an incredibly powerful one

  22. 6.0 |   Q

    This isn't music to be passively enjoyed and it's all the more thrilling for it. Print edition only

  23. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    To see a group own its own sound so assertively and genuinely is a rare and powerful thing
