"Yes, the album sounds incredible, but who is this album for beyond audiophiles? The songs are far too long for clubbing, there aren't enough hooks to make them Synth Pop bangers, they're a bit too chilled out for a rave crowd, and if a stoner wants to relax they're more likely going to reach for Sleep. Or Primus if they're feeling weird. The whole thing just feels aimless and meandering and made more for its creators than the listener".

"Notwithstanding the way of formulating the music, those keeping an eye on the idiosyncratic Finns' oeuvre since their 2010 debut won't be too surprised by their literally titled fourth album: the familiar glam-rock stomp is present, as is the techno-inclined Acid House pulse. This time, though, there is a fluidity which must stem from the means of composition and how the resultant audio has been fused with bass guitar, drums, guitar and a raft of (mostly) analogue synths. Rather than a venture into new pastures, the energised IV is a recalibration".
