  1. 8.0 |   NME

    Angrier than they’ve got before, but also prettier
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Angry, innovative and often ahead of the curve. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   BBC

    The group’s melding together of dance music, metal riffs, punk energy and vocals that sound English rather than Californian make A Flash Flood of Colour not only a compelling effort, but an appropriately named one to boot

  4. 8.0 |   The Fly

    Here, Enter Shikari, finally completing their transition from growly kids to a righteous and riot-inciting combo

  5. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    They're hysterically fun, but perhaps easier to admire in the abstract than really adore
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Enter Shikari have created an album that, for better or worse, pushes boundaries both sonically and thematically, and the end result is a thoroughly entertaining album

  7. 7.8 |   The AU Review

    The one thing Enter Shikari do extremely well, is make it virtually impossible to pigeon hole this band to a genre or even make comparisons to their sound

  8. 5.0 |   DIY

    The positives are overshadowed by petulant observations to politics which is hard to take seriously
    Read Review

  9. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    An enterprising, if somewhat patchy work by four guys creating a bit of musical mayhem on their own terms
    Read Review

  10. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The bottom line is, if you aren't bolstered by Reynolds' strangulated punk scream, you're either dead or of voting age

  11. 4.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Kicks off with a pained metaphor comparing modern Britain to a clifftop house threatened by coastal erosion, and doesn't let up from there
