Sounding something like a cross between The Pretenders and Sleaford Mods, Wet Leg give us one of the most original-sounding albums of the pop year. Woozy, sweary and full of post-punk attitude, Wet Leg entertains at every turn. (Edited)

one of the better albums of the year and definitely grammy deserving. (Edited)

Loving Wet Leg, a breath of fresh air, certainly in my top ten albums of 22 (Edited)

“Wetleg” tries a bit too hard to be clever. Songs attempt to have this wry sense of humor about them, but it rarely hits the mark. This produces groaner lyrics such as “To tell me if I'm thin or fat, to tell me should I shave my rat”. The focus on wordplay also comes at the cost of thematic meaning. They will jump from innuendo to innuendo without building a foundation of feeling. This is most apparent on the break-up tracks, which all together only amount to only “Piss off, loser”. Instrumentally, there is competent jangle pop, but with the exception of “Wet Dream” no stand-out guitar lines. If you put your tongue too far into your cheek, no one will know what you are saying.
