"Their second proper LP marries 20th-century rock songcraft and EDM-pop vernacular with an eye on stadium rocking and dance-floor remixes. The band can feel hampered by its populist ambition, though, which means the best stuff here moves toward the intimate".

"Guitars feature more heavily than on the debut album, further blurring the line between Bastille and fellow over-thinkers Coldplay, but Bastille have the edge in terms of unfeigned emotionalism".

"With their muted electronic beats and rousing, arena-friendly choruses, Bastille are the archetypal modern pop band ... the best track, The Currents, rails against Farage and Trump, its venomous riff compensating for the mundane words ("I can't believe the scary points you make"). Elsewhere, though, for all the "woah-oh-oh"s and snippets of dialogue from 1980s films, Wild World is too wholesome to generate real thrills".
