"Fantastic - next best thing to Pink Floyd live." Reply
"Well composed beats with beautiful instrumentation on top. This album is a peaceful listen. It is low-key electronic music, so if that is what you're into, you'll love this album. This album is about the journey more than anything. Don't expect a destination, or highlights in the middle. Just put..." [+] Reply

"Written as a tribute to the coal mining communities of South Wales, Public Service Broadcasting’s latest release does a splendid job of honouring its subject rather than simply pilfering from it for inspiration. The voices of miners and a local choir merge effortlessly with the band’s signature s..." [+] Reply
"I had all but forgotten about Soulwax before discovering they’d released a new album this year, and while it’s unmistakably them, they’ve definitely evolved their style since 2005’s Nite Versions. Recorded in one take (does that make it a live album?), From Deewee is a smooth and seamless ride." [+] Reply

"This is a band you'd love to hate. Sometimes the music feels a bit like a parody of rock music, a bit like the Swedish The Hives, but after a while one can't be anything than impressed by their wall-of-sound sound with tracks that contain elements of both punkrock and 80's Van Halen style hardroc..."

"This is a brilliant record - an AOTY contender for me, and I say this with some confidence as a long-term fan of the band - this is their best release (IMO) in a career going back to the mid-1990s. A shot in the arm to the corpse of post-rock!" Reply

"The title track and "Arc of Bar" are great, but the rest seems to be really lacking creativity. It feels like stuff I've heard before from 4 King & Country, and even they aren't the most innovative band around. Japandroids = Canadian 4 King & Country, but minus the fact that 4 King & Country are ..." [+] Reply
