  4. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Each successive listen revealed something else...it was always a pleasure, and most definitely not a chore
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    A constellation of experimental and mature tracks that approach one of lives hardest transitions in a completely magical, unique and intellectual way
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

    The perfect balance between immediacy and nostalgia, which is something that Mystery Jets have been slowly but surely perfecting since 2003

    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The anthemic choruses and impassioned vocal strains don’t have the same breezy, light-hearted nature that we’re used to with Mystery Jets

  11. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    An ode to the uncertainty of the quarter-life crisis that somehow manages to make that awkward entry into maturity sound bittersweet and beautiful at once
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Wonky psychedelia, noodly prog rock and harmony filled indie pop. Print edition only

  13. 6.0 |   Paste Magazine

    Isn’t a complete rebound—there are too many fumbles, too many eye-rolls...but in its fits of brilliance, Mystery Jets reclaim their throne as rock’s savviest copycats

    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Mojo

    A sense of growth, impermanence and yearning runs through these songs. Print edition only

  17. 5.0 |   The Music

    The record tries hard to possess awe-inspiring atmospherics and the studiophiles will have a field day ticking off the production techniques

  18. 5.0 |   No Ripcord

    Comes across a little on the self-indulgent side
    Read Review

  19. 4.0 |   State

    It is a sorry indictment that a nine track album comes to feel like something of a slog
