  1. 8.0 |   Clash

    Fumes testosterone and oozes hair-rock brute; epic guitar onslaughts, eerie vocals and firing cymbals, indeed it’s a rather spectacular effort by the wandering four

  2. 8.0 |   NME

    An intoxicating mix of apocalyptic riffs, sob-worthy singalongs and brooding blues.

    It does what it does very well, and the good and great of songwriting deserve recognition regardless of how conventionally they reach their goals.

  6. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    At their best, they are woozy, weather beaten, and very occasionally heartbreaking. However, on too many occasions you get the impression that they ramp up the volume to mask a shortage of ideas.

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
