  1. 8.0 |   BBC

    A blistering return to their musical roots
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    It's easily their most aggressively straightforward LP thus far, perhaps best thought of as their punk record: short, lean and entirely engaging
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    A record that could so easily be mistaken for an LP released by a band over a decade their junior

  4. 7.0 |   Tone Deaf

    Engaging, powerful and is easily their most impressive album to date
    Read Review

  5. 7.0 |   All Music

    Solid enough to prove that every so often a little de-evolution is just what a band needs
    Read Review

  6. 6.8 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    A vivid, dark and breakneck-paced listen. Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Fans of the band won’t be disappointed
    Read Review

  12. 4.0 |   NME

    Following a mid-noughties turn into melodic alt-rock, ‘Conduit’ finds the Bridgend quintet revisiting their thrashy roots
