  1. 9.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Couple Tracks offers an incredibly good investment to fans looking to plug some gaps or newcomers looking to take their first steps into the Fucked Up world

  2. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A genuinely brilliant introduction to the band’s earlier material with some moments even eclipsing the brilliance of Chemistry of Common Life

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    We have been gifted with a mammoth of a man and his socio-political and religious musings growled over catchy tunes rather than just distortion covering up three-chord tedium

  5. 7.0 |   Blurt

    For those searching for clues as to where this band came from or where it might go next, Couple Tracks offers up an attractive proposition indeed

  6. 7.0 |   The Observer

    From the name on in they remain true to the harder-faster-hoarser school of hardcore punk

  7. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Couple Tracks is definitely only for existing fans, but even non-fans should be able to appreciate the fact that Fucked Up are doing their thing thoroughly and idiosyncratically, with no concessions to others

  8. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    Most of their best songs, like the torrential six-minute "Triumph of Life" (a demo of a Hidden World track), expand the boundaries of hardcore punk, rather than moving outside it: they're flexing their heads, as it were

  9. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    Couple Tracks is certainly worth it for newcomers and short-time fans of an up and coming experimental punk band

  10. 4.0 |   State

    Couple Tracks is frankly a chore to listen to, and – if it wasn’t for the historical twists in the form of speeches and horror movie melodies – wouldn’t sound too different if the same track was looped twenty five times
