  17. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

  18. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Deerhoof revels in eternally turning perpendicular on itself, an optical illusion for the ears that the foursome has perfected with age
    Read Review

  19. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    Though their sound is undoubtedly unique, their music has become formulaic by their refusal to grow and it’s hard to see them squeezing much more out of their brand of aural maximalism
