  1. 9.2 |   Earbuddy

    Rustie’s third record refracts all of the influence of his earlier work into a gleaming multi-colored galaxy of maximalistic beatmaking harmony

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Even in a year that has seen an awakened hoard of rapturous maximalists explore spritely electronics with the same flair for density and mania that Glass Swords did, Rustie’s return outdoes them all

  3. 8.0 |   Spin

    Its 45 minutes don’t feel like they can be separated by traditional temporal markers; between-song transitions are closer to the vicissitudes of a mood ring, which is both a good and a bad thing

  4. 8.0 |   The Observer

    There’s not much space to catch a breath over its 15 tracks, but for a pure adrenaline rush it works perfectly

  5. 8.0 |   NME

    ‘EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE’ is Rustie in excelsis, a perfect example of his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, magpie’s eye gift for reassembling modern dance music styles in his own image.

  6. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    It is less an album than a set of 15 variations upon a single theme. It is the Rustiest album possible, and you have to respect that kind of doggedness

  7. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    His euphoric, trap-inspired EDM - full of deep drops and almost PC Music melodies - keeps hitting as hard as it should
    Read Review

  8. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    His maximalist ethos still holds up beautifully: The builds are huge, and heavy on detail

  9. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Rife with all the chaos associated with underground bass culture, but without any of its aggressive underpinnings

  10. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A collection of songs that feel spiritually intertwined
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    As he reclaims some of the ground he ceded with last year’s more nuanced Green Language, there’s little doubt that Whyte is having a ball
    Read Review

  12. 5.8 |   Resident Advisor

    In pursuit of ever bigger gestures, he's crushing his music against a ceiling, both in terms of literal dynamics and emotional content

  13. 5.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Rustie fails to communicate anything like actual euphoria to his listeners. Instead, he induces a vague sense of unease and distaste
