  1. 10.0 |   PopMatters

    It makes all stereo speakers worship the space they are in, and the headphone listening experience is nothing short of transcendental

  2. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    What a wonderful retro-futurist, trans-reality, sorcerous throwback it provides. Emphatically recommended

    Splendidly indulgent

  4. 8.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    A record that takes on more challenges and obstacles that is either necessary or sane, but it triumphs in the face of all of them

  5. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    An epic, widescreen journey which is busy and bonkers but constantly entertaining

  6. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Amongst immaculately arranged fuzz pop, Magma-esque choirs and Amazing Stories artwork, you’ll have fun with this record

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    What’s not to love about an album that sounds like a space opera one moment and the theme song for a low-budget quiz show the next

  8. 6.5 |   BBC

    Crams more creativity into a dozen cuts than most bands exhibit over entire careers
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Prefix

    Pepe Deluxe has succeeded in creating another eccentric, experimental, and over-the-top pop record

  10. 5.0 |   Pitchfork

    The sort of record that's far more attractive when its ingredients are merely listed out of context

  11. 4.8 |   Beats Per Minute

    All the talent in the world can’t cover up the fact that Queen of the Wave simply tries too hard and succeeds too infrequently

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
