Q MagazineFeb 26, 2016A characteristically warm and good-natured record, but it's also striking how adventurous and relevant they sound. [Apr 2016, p.108]
-
Mar 15, 2016There are a couple of fillers on the album, but Girl At The End Of The World is a strong, distinctive addition to the band’s work.
-
Mar 18, 2016Between this record and its predecessor, their creativity seems to have entered a fertile new phase.
-
Feb 26, 2016Girl at the End of the World is, on one level, more of the same: bulging arrangements; hefty half-hooks; Tim Booth's screwy commentary connecting somewhere to the left of immediately comprehensible. But it's also intelligent, accomplished and likeable.
-
Mar 9, 2016One forgives most of Booth’s excesses and there are plenty on the oddball chanson tracks Alvin and Waking. It’s an anything-goes approach.
-
Mar 18, 2016If you do have another [James record], the chances are it’s stored away somewhere you don’t think about very often. The chances are, too, that The Girl at the End of the World, likeably well-intentioned as it may be, will end up in the same place.
-
Mar 17, 2016Commendably still opting for spontaneity after all these years, the lads have whittled down some dance-tinged jams into workable songs and the result is an LP that, while unfocused, still has plenty of drive and energy.
