"Innovative post-hardcore quartet push their boundaries ... While still unpredictable, this is Shikari's most mainstream, self-contained record to date. Some will appreciate its ambition, others will balk at its commercial feel, but it marks a real and definite evolution nonetheless".

"A tempestuous tribute to a world on fire - Lots of musicians are busy making albums about the political chaos engulfing the world today, but only Enter Shikari's Rou Reynolds has been driven to an all-out breakdown by it all ... worsening as Brexit, terrorism, austerity, the dismantling of the NHS and Trump's rule-by-toddler-tweet ramped up, Reynolds honed in on his personal political anguish for Shikari's fifth album. And it's a focus that's helped the record become, potentially, their Biffy Clyro-style crossover classic".
