Reception
The album received positive reviews, and Metacritic, which compiles reviews and aggregates them, gave the album a score of 81 indicating "universal acclaim". NME compared the album to "Technique-era New Order fed through My Bloody Valentine's distortion pedals" and described it as "the album Daft Punk should have made".[3] In his highly positive review for Drowned In Sound, Euan McLean described the album as "the record The Human League could have made if they'd remade Fleetwood Mac's Rumours in 1985" and congratulated the band on "mixing emotion and technology to perfection".[6]
