    Ununiform demonstrates that Tricky has retained his sense of adventure; even at its most opaque and cryptic lyrically, his music remains hypnotic. [Nov 2017, p.64]

    Throughout, Tricky creates a claustrophobic world full of stark bass lines, pop digressions and slinky Bristol moments; his duet with Francesca Belmonte, New Stole, is particularly moreish.
  3. Uncut

    It seems he's at peace with trip-hop and his legacy. However, the punky "Dark Days" with Mina Rose and a minimal take on Hole's "Doll Parts" with singer Avalon Lurks suggests he remains restless for what might be over the next smoky horizon. [Nov 2017, p.36]

    The most Tricky-like he's sounded in years. [Oct 2017, p.104]

    Tricky isn't trying as hard to be all things like he was at the turn of the millennium, and he's not phoning it in to pay the bills like he's been doing for the past few albums. He's making music for the love of making music, and the results are pretty satisfying.

    While this LP is yet another release that is not Maxinquaye, compared to the average Tricky album, it's accessible, mostly focused, and offers a handful of moments that remind listeners of his early promise and hold attention until his next effort.

    In the end, Ununiform has it's peaks and valleys.

    His best album since Pre-Millennium Tension. The album's second track says it all about Ununiform: "Same as It Ever Was."
