"There are so many diverse sounds on 'There is No Year'. It helps that the band are influenced by so many different genres that they can easily float between them without changing their sound. Discordant guitars and rapid-fire beats comprise most of the album, but lithe piano and pared-back instrumentation weave its way in, ensuring the record's tone is evened out. 'Chaka' belongs in the '70s, with its disco-influenced synths, guitars and simple drum beats. This balance means the band's lyrical message are delivered with more clarity.The band continue to be radical, but rather than being reactionary, `There is No Year' is precise, thoughtful and powerful".
