  2. 8.0 |   The Quietus

  3. 8.0 |   PopMatters

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Simultaneously more cosmic and conceptual than earlier efforts. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   The Skinny

  12. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Creating a 19-track album out of Black Lips’ brand of messy psychedelic punk was always going to be a huge ask. And they have nearly pulled it off

  13. 6.0 |   Q

    They bend no one's will but their own. Print edition only

  14. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone
