If this really is the final Spiritualized album, as Pierce keeps threatening, it’s one hell of a grand statement to go out on

And Nothing Hurt is nothing short of gorgeous: lush arrangements placed deftly upon somber subject matter. The resulting record is a fitting return for the spaced out and thoughtful

Exclaim
While it's a mostly subdued record, Pierce puts his Telecaster to work on a couple of adrenaline pumpers like "On the Sunshine" and "The Morning After," which climax with fits of free jazz madness

If this is Spiritualized’s last – and Pierce hasn’t fully rowed-back on that threat, given his lucubrations drove him “crazy” – it’s a very satisfying denouement

If it wasn’t for the addition of the two up-tempo tunes, this would be the aural equivalent of having a warm bath whilst on a morphine drip. Or a bucketful of really nice ice cream

Sail On Through closes an album of inoffensive lullabies and perfectly serviceable rock music. And Nothing Hurt is a fitting title for a record that is comforting, and if that’s what you look to rock music for, look no further
