Mar 8, 2019White Onions and Exits were definitely solid. I love how varied this album is. From In degrees, which makes you wanna dance, to Sunday, which brings the feels. I just LOVED this album. Syrup didn't totally convince me, but it gets better at min4.

Mar 8, 2019I love how they are getting more complex with their production. I can't guess how the song is going to end. No predictable twists. This is on the more experimental side for them but they make it sound natural. Lyrical content is also a standout. I enjoyed it. There are no boring fillers. Can't wait for part 2!

May 9, 2019Foals' new album, "Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost, Pt. 1" marks the return of the indie rock masters. This time with a familiar, punchy sound that induces a state of nostalgia for older indie listeners. A defiant, successful return for the band.

Mar 8, 2019The only "bad" thing in this record is that it ends. Absolutely addicting, well produced and totally worth all the wait for a Foals new album.
Waiting for Pt.2 -
Mar 22, 2019I didn't really care about this record while listening to it, it's bang average at a 5. If you like mostly slower pop-rock music with distant and sometimes hazy vocals this might be for you.

Dec 15, 2019It's good but forgettable. Phillppakis certainly tried his best here, but it's a bit over ambitious. Sunday is the best track.

Mar 9, 2019Most cohesive album by Foals to date. The lyrical concepts, songwriting, and instrumental experimentation make this my favorite album of the year so far. Can't wait for part 2.

May 20, 2019It took me a few listens to love this, but I do. It's a great album - and maybe not as good as previous ones, but up there.

Jun 24, 2022Oh man i love this album... ENSWBL as a whole is my favourite music art piece ever, and especially the first part. The themes and lyrics are hitting me right in that hole in my heart that go as deep as i never thought it was possible... And the sound of this album leave me shivering on my couch. Yeah... Foals are great...

Mar 25, 2019For now, this is an album that establishes Foals as one of the most exciting and driven bands of the generation.

Mar 22, 2019Foals have always been deft wielders of unease, and the shambolic Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost feels certain in its uncertainty. Whether or not all of these stylistic shifts find some common ground with the release of volume two remains to be seen, but there's no denying the vitality that runs through this ten-song set, nor the inescapable feeling of doom.

Mar 15, 2019What’s heartening about the first part of Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost is that this formula has not become tired. Rather, the band are adding to it incrementally and progressing into ever more interesting territory.
