  1. 8.0 |   DIY

    From a distance, it’s the kind of no-holds-barred heavy rock sound that Mogwai made their own, but This Will Destroy You take it a step further
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    Its nine songs all succinctly traveling through passages of bizarre echoes, blown-out explosions of sound, and the band's always airtight sense of dynamics

  3. 8.0 |   Clash

    If this is post-rock, it’s in the purest sense of that prefix: it’s rock that goes beyond expectations for the genre, even while working within its confines, to somewhere that you sense its players aren’t quite accustomed to yet

  4. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    The band makes unexpected dynamic pushes seem easy to pull off and easier to internalize as a listener, but on first listen, each comes as a surprise

  5. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Another Language is another good record that takes some risks, some more successful than others

  6. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Another Language goes smoothly, and rather quickly, into territory that freezes the fleeting so we can, if just for a few minutes, see it while we’re still alive

  7. 6.5 |   Earbuddy

    A solid entry for This Will Destroy You, but it doesn’t add much to the genre’s ouvre, or even the band’s mythos
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   The Music

    There’s an ebb and flow of ambient synth across the tracks, coalescing with stunningly precise instrumentation and delicate harmonies
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   The 405

    This is This Will Destroy You's third album and they've probably all sounded more or less like this
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   State

    The sound of a band tentatively exploring new territories within instrumental music but it also feels like a work in progress
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    This Will Destroy You manages to create a sound wholly its own while still operating fully within the basic framework of the post-rock/instrumental rock genre
