  1. 8.8 |   AltSounds

    Songs is smart slick and sexy but it has a real heart to it, not to mention an edgier side to the superficial varnish of it's smooth melodies and rich harmonies

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Yorkshire dubstep don shows his class on album number two. edition only

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    You can blame him for Skrillex – but dismiss his second album, ‘Songs’, only at your peril

  4. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Dubstep is outweighed by effervescent house, pop, R&B, dancehall, even twostep garage – a style that preceded dubstep – with vocals ready to pop like champagne bubbles

  5. 6.7 |   Pitchfork

    The main issue with Songs is that, for an album of "songs," there are too few pop cuts to work well as a whole

  6. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Songs does not kill Rusko’s brostep monster. It just drastically smooths out the edges and makes it a bit more ready for popular consumption

  7. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    As with OMG, Songs is solid when it sticks to what it knows best, the crisp beats, playful bass wobbles and shuddering tempo

  8. 5.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Adopting an end-of-exams-foam-party mindset enables a fairer assessment of the undeniably competent work on offer here, and the fact is, six out of 13 songs are 100% fit for purpose – rules dictate a halfway score!

  9. 5.0 |   BBC

    The wump is just stuck on top of things, a lairy, generalised interruption, like a crowd of drunken football fans shouting on the underground
