  1. 8.0 |   Clash

    The comparisons to The Cure and Cocteau Twins will surely come in their droves. But 'Ullages' is not a nostalgic album. Quite the opposite

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It is a remarkable transformation from a band that continue to go from strength to strength

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Ullages comes as a eulogy of not only Eagulls’ name, but also their sound - they utilise the same angst as their first album, but it’s shaken up into something different that’s still equally as affecting

  4. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    A record that spans an emotional spectrum much wider than ever before. It's a stunning leap forward
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    While perhaps not as immediate or instantly accessible as Eagulls, it represents a marked progression for a band seemingly intent on developing themselves at every possible juncture

  6. 8.0 |   DIY

    If they can take the motifs of ‘Ullages’ and dive further into the unknown, they’ll have the makings of a special band

  7. 8.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    It’s a big record, one with thick, heavily layered textures and massive, unapologetic guitar parts that are far from shy in displaying their origin

  8. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Both blissful and bloody-minded, Ullages is raincoat-clad gift from goth heaven.

  9. 8.0 |   The 405

    An exciting step forward into new territories for Eagulls

  10. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The songs aren’t empty — ­­they are full of space, vast volumes of it. They’re barren and lonely and affecting, full of smoldering builds, ululating groans of noise, cold guitars, and ghosts
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    As its anagrammatic title suggests, Ullages aims for what remains in the post-punk canon
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   Crack

    While there’ll be fans disappointed with Ullages’ lack of immediately gratifying punk anthems, Eagulls’ disaffection is now barbed with poetry as opposed to venom
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Gig Soup

    Sees Eagulls making a logical progression towards further embracing their pop sensibility
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Indie quintet follows up surprise success of debut album with the ambitious Ullages, but still struggle to find much to be positive about Read more: http://www.popmatters.com/review/eagulls-ullages/#ixzz4HZnGr23H

  15. 6.6 |   Pitchfork

    The Leeds band channel their misery through a soft-focus dream-pop shimmer
    Read Review

  16. 6.5 |   Earbuddy

    This style of music can be done, and done incredibly well, which dooms Ullages to a likable enough record, but not necessary
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   State

    A worthy effort
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   The Music

    They've stepped away from the frenetic punk sounds and landed in a darker environment
    Read Review

  19. 5.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Clearly Eagulls are trying to push their sound into pastures new, but the ratio of hits to misses here is unfortunately skewed in the wrong direction
    Read Review

  20. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    Monotony is a problem on Ullages – you long for Eagulls to move beyond the confines of their soundscape and extend their emotional range

  21. 4.0 |   The Observer

    One step forward, two steps back
