    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    11 brutal songs that you could work your way through on the most meagre of lunch breaks – go back to your desk feeling like Clark Kent on a Ritalin overdose

    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   DIY

    An album will stay ringing in your ears long afterwards
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Pulled Apart By Horses play a vein of alt-rock/post-hardcore that recalls a porridge of influences including early Deftones, Fugazi and Biffy Clyro
    Read Review

  15. 6.5 |   Bowlegs

    An album that hasn’t just improved on their debut, it’s completely surpassed it
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Light-hearted screamo, somewhere between Black Flag and Black Lace. Print edition only

  17. 4.0 |   State

    A dismal, unnecessarily turgid trudge back through the early ’90s with only a sarcastic grin for company
    Read Review

  18. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    A potentially propulsive album that simply doesn’t know when to pull back and allow some breathing space
    Read Review

  19. 3.0 |   Beats Per Minute

    Nearly always dull, bland, and very hard to be interested in
