  1. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Joe Easly’s drumming remains absolutely fucking insanely brilliant. Some things haven’t changed
    Read Review

  2. 7.0 |   Spin

    Despite the full dismissal of punk roots here — the blended-in drumming, the lack of rollercoaster twists and turns in the tempos and time signatures — Uncanney Valley's only real stumbles are lyrical

  3. 7.0 |   The 405

    They're back in business and, crucially, still on form
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    It’s a joy to hear the plan writing together again, and any fears that this would be nothing more than a vessel for Travis’s solo material are abated
    Read Review

  5. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s too well-crafted, too gregarious, too self-assured, and too joyful to not be enjoyable
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    A decade after breaking up, DP find themselves firmly in step with our attention-disordered, hypernostalgic times
    Read Review

  7. 6.8 |   Paste Magazine

    The artistic liberty of neglecting to ease anyone in to a new incarnation of the same band is wholly admirable. The result, however, is pretty uneven
    Read Review

  8. 6.5 |   Under The Radar

    Certainly proves that, 10 years on, there's still life left in these old dogs
    Read Review

  9. 6.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    It’s an album worth loving in spite of itself
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   NME

    Not the comeback it could have been
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    An enjoyable and accomplished record
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It’s great to have The Dismemberment Plan back, but whether we really needed this record is perhaps a thornier question
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   All Music

    The sound still has plenty of the angular grooves that we've all come to know and love, but there's a different mood on the album
    Read Review

  14. 5.8 |   A.V. Club

    Uncanney Valley is curiously conflict-free—and for a band that always thrived on friction, that can make for a frustrating listen
    Read Review

  15. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Uncanney Valley is just okay, which, by D-Plan standards, means that this could very well be the worst thing they’ve ever done
    Read Review

  16. 4.5 |   Pitchfork

    Anytime a much-loved band returns from a long pause and tries to recapture some of the old magic, there's always the chance that they'll come up short
    Read Review

  17. 2.0 |   No Ripcord

    It really shouldn’t have been this disappointing
