  1. 8.0 |   AU Review

    It don’t rock, but it sure does shake
    Read Review

  2. 7.0 |   The Fly

    Transformed from an insipid, mewling guitar strummer to a cut’n’paste quirky pop mastermind

  3. 7.0 |   Subba Cultcha

    Bursts at the seams with cheap sugary tang and humorous fizz
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

    An album that has been heard on Countryfile, Grey’s Anatomy and Eastenders. By rights, every TV show this coming year should contain at least one of these songs

  5. 6.5 |   The Quietus

    The merry little wordless ditties ... comprise the most imaginative and listenable work on here
    Read Review

  6. 6.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    An odd album, a mad sonic scientist’s home brewed peculiarity on the surface, slightly overlong and maybe in places ... substituting ambition for solidified melodic ideas

  7. 6.0 |   NME

    Basically, Rob, keep your gob shut and your mind open. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    An intriguing second long player that suggests The Voluntary Butler Scheme might well be on the verge of getting paid for his musical efforts

  9. 6.0 |   Mojo

    It's the non-vocal offerings that prove the album's high points. Print edition only

  10. 4.0 |   Q

    A ramshackle fabrication in need of reinvention. Print edition only
