  1. 8.5 |   Crack

    It speaks volumes on his talents not just as a great leader but also as a truly unique songwriter. In the classic sense. This kind of prodigy only comes around once or twice in a generation

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Rønnenfet emerges as a sort of apocalyptic soulman, intoxicated and on the edge of megalomaniac. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    It lurches from piano jazz ('Every Child (Portrait of Wellman Braud)') and Bowie-esque plastic soul ('King of Song') to demented early Bunnymen vibes

  4. 8.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Rønnenfelt is trying his hand at jazz, and occasionally belting out britpop hooks, but sings in a low, drunken snarl and slurs his words in the confusion of individual experience

  5. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    At times This World is a challenging listen - but there is no doubt that broadening his scope has added new strings to his bow; namely the ability to adopt breezier sounds without losing any of his emotional clout

  6. 6.5 |   Beardfood

    Less agressive, more sprawling music, and he's surprisingly suited for this line of work as well

  7. 5.6 |   Pitchfork

    While he is often quite good at conjuring up vividly disquieting imagery, it’s rarely enough to keep your attention. But somehow, This World Is Not Enough is too cluelessly conceived and sloppily executed to get very mad about it

  8. 5.0 |   Earbuddy

    “King of Song” almost gives the impression of Marching Church as a fully realized project, but unfortunately This World Is Not Enough’s other songs never live up to its high mark

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
