  1. 8.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Dystopia has rarely sounded so good
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Tremendously disturbing, but for some reason, you kind of enjoyed it
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    A hauntingly unforgettable experience and yet another great project from this edgy London-based band
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    When you buy it, just refrain from buying anything else at the same time – this is capable of condemning any other joint purchase to the shelf for a very long time indeed

  5. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Brilliantly haunting and ruefully grim
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   The Music

    The Veils bleed, howl, and ache - as few do so well
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    A soulful and bewitching brew, and a superlative demonstration of how to prod at your aesthetic without selling your soul
    Read Review

  8. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The album, which took nearly two years to take shape, is delicately spun rather than cobbled togher, and makes for treasured listening
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    In the end, El-P’s beats and the electronic edge that he brings to one or two corners notwithstanding, this is The Veils as you would expect to find them, untroubled too much by changes to their formula

  10. 7.0 |   All Music

    There is a soulful and undeniably sultry swagger to sad-sack room clearers like "Swimming with Crocodiles," "Iodine and Iron," and the tension-filled title cut
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Despite Andrews’ occasionally overwrought attempts to conjure up a mood of malevolent fate by channelling his inner Nick Cave, it’s an absorbing journey
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    It’s hard to shake the feeling that The Veils linger on homage rather than embrace a sound uniquely their own
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   Q

    This doesn't convince as a cult classic. Print edition only

  14. 4.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Alongside songs like ‘In the Blood’ and especially ‘Iodine & Iron’, which sound powerful and genuinely interesting, are moments that aren’t convincing and fitting enough for a band of this creative calibre
