  3. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    A picture book of the best kind, all waxed paper and stormy skies and age-old languages
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    Is one of Tiersen's most ambitious albums, but its grand scale only magnifies his music's heartfelt beauty

    Characteristically atmospheric and calming

  6. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Blends his classical talents with the avant-garde flair and experimental rock dynamics. Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   musicOMH

  12. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    For existing fans this is a tonally varied addition to his substantial oeuvre, but the record will likely prove too oblique, even passé, for more virgin ears

  13. 6.0 |   NME

    Tiersen never loses touch with his innate sense of melody, but the lack of edge means that ‘Infinity’’s charms are, in fact, finite
