Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "The Manics have recaptured that taut urgency, accommodating both their punk instincts and their stadium rock flourishes.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Some of the band's most exciting music in years....James Dean Bradfield deserves special praise for grappling with obtuse lyrics, turning many into surprisingly immediate pop songs.", "The title track has a clear-eyed rock jangle to pair with its heavy crunch and 'Facing Page: Top Left' is as gentle and quiet as the Manics get.", "This is severe, lashing excitement -- rushed-reveille guitars, garage-fidelity drumming and the stark alarm of Bradfield's high sour-pop tenor..."
