  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Let’s Wrestle seem to have avoided sacrificing the quirks of seemingly eternal adolescence in favour of string arrangements and more sophisticated songwriting

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Bristling with ideas, it's an album worth getting to grips with. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    Their finest collection yet

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Let’s Wrestle are still the band they’ve always been: self-deprecating, scruffy and charming. They can’t be anything else, and thank God for that

  5. 7.0 |   Uncut

    It all often sounds like Metronomy's secret Hackney-themed indie project. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   Mojo

    A bold, if not entirely original, creative leap. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Lets Wrestle never quite achieves its own sense of identity

  8. 6.0 |   DIY

    It's a rare trick for a band to introduce such a shift in styles without compromising their identity, or what it was that drew people to them in the first place, Let’s Wrestle have managed to pull it off

  9. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Gonzalez is clearly more McCartney than he is Lennon, pricing melody above anything else, which unfortunately includes simple excitement for the greater good of a song ‘working’

  10. 6.0 |   The 405

    If you've ever liked a previous record by the band you'll like this more, yet anyone who's never heard of them probably never will

  11. 5.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    There’s little to get excited about here – there’s no wheel reinventing, no formula shake-up, no scrawling outside any boxes… it’s just pleasant, familiar indie-rock that verges on wishy-washy

  12. 4.0 |   The Skinny

    Feels as if too many of the band’s youthful assets have ended up jettisoned or muted in the name of maturation

Latest Reviews

Lorde  Virgin

Because for all the grand ideas here, it feels like Lorde has more to say about them, and as the aesthetic and songcraft of Virgin illustrates — almost despite all of this — she is more than skilled enough to do so Beats Per Minute

Frankie Cosmos  Different Talking

Different Talking feels like Frankie Cosmos finally coming into its own. By self-producing, the band articulates a broader sound palette than on 2022’s Inner World Peace Northern Transmissions

Lorde  Virgin

A thrilling comeback that puts Lorde’s trajectory to the stars back on track DIY
