  1. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    In its use of spaces and spaciousness the album has something post-punk about it; and that’s a reminder that, in a way, krautrock started being post-punk before punk had even happened

  2. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    With III, Föllakzoid have broken through the sound barriers erected by the modern psych/kraut scene

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Like their progenitors, Föllakzoid’s unwavering sense of purpose on III is admirable

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    The overall effect is expansive and it's far-out in the best possible way. Print edition only

  5. 7.5 |   The 405

    That they can conjure such mental theatrics (with what feels at first like just a few actual moving parts) is astonishing

  6. 7.0 |   Spin

    Föllakzoid's songs mostly remain static, never really swelling or winding down and never really shifting shape, structurally or melodically

  7. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Whether exploring the heavens or marching with us mere mortals, Föllakzoid have the power to carve out their own sonic territory, conquering one world at a time

  8. 7.0 |   All Music

    Ultimately, III is some of Föllakzoid's most confident work yet, and a testament to their ability to be heavy and atmospheric at the same time

  9. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Decent collection of head-nodders. Print edition only

  10. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    A slow, methodical record that commands listeners’ full attention, but it rewards the investment

  11. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    It doesn’t always reach the level of spiritual purity it could, but there’s a touch of steel and a sense of pacing that was missing from Föllakzoid’s prior work

  12. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    The four tracks comprising III are the longest they’ve yet recorded, showing off their intimate, intertwined chemistry and the momentum they manage to maintain over what could easily have been aimless interstellar improv
