The Times
In making an album that simultaneously sounds like the end of the world and the beginning of a new one, Fuck Buttons have eased ahead of their influences into a league of their own.

In short, this album is dance music like you’ve never heard before: guttural, noisy, futuristic, mind-blowingly brilliant

The Line Of Best Fit
This record is the best work-out I’ve had in months and I feel filled with light every time I listen to it. I’m not a religious man but I could easily evangalise for Fuck Buttons. Their light pours out of me

Pitchfork
Tarot Sport marks a comprehensive stylistic shift for Fuck Buttons-- from experimental noise to a sort of modernized electronic take on classic post-rock structures-- but also represents a subtler, more mature approach to songwriting and a sharpening of their craft

Such are the music's joyous highs, subtle thrills and rich and deep layers, they can undoubtedly be judged one of the most worthwhile and special bands currently at large.

Drowned In Sound
Achieves its acceleration by taking the ostensibly cheesy uplift of a bygone era of dance (one their producer was present and correct for) and rendering it in exotic shades of contemporary noise.

A noise band with tunes might sound like a contradiction in terms, but Fuck Buttons have carved out a sound that owes more to personal inspiration that tradition, and here it works like a dream

This music creates the Sagrada Família of sonic cathedrals: beautiful, organic and prone to sprout weird and wonderful tentacles of sound.

Fuck Buttons’ fizzling DIY laboratory still has the invention and ingenuity to surprise.

For about an hour, if you can allow Fuck Buttons to control your responses, to embrace the clusterfuck of noise and emotion, then Tarot Sport might be one of the strongest albums of this year

Layers and layers are added, galloping beats explode into life and the seven tracks build gradually in momentum to a really quite swoonsome climax

PopMatters
All in all, it’s a confusing recording. Where they once might have been tempted to deliver melodic obviousness without the requisite textural innovations to make it interesting, Fuck Buttons have now become a more revised and soon-to-be revered prospect

No Ripcord
The album definitely has its moments, and the first half is very engaging, but they lose it in the long run. Ultimately, Tarot Sport feels too much like a clone to be considered anywhere near as good as its predecessor
