"Fix Yourself, Not the World isn't going to change the face of music, but nor is it going to do anything to impede the Wombats' latter-day progress".

"'Fix Yourself...' is the first indie release of 2022 that might weigh into Ed Sheeran and Adele's mud fight at the top of the album charts, and it might not even be long before The Wombats are headlining major festivals. Don't look so surprised".

"The record arrives three years after the equally potent Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life and also follows Murphy's 2020 solo project, Wherever I Go, I Want to Leave. As with those albums, Fix Yourself, Not the World is another deep dive into Murphy's psyche, where literate lyrics rife with self-loathing and allusions to substance abuse are married to the group's highly kinetic post-punk grooves and '90s-style Brit-pop hooks. It's an appealing combination, bringing to mind the self-aware pop irony of classic bands like the Kinks, Blur, and Pulp".
