4 stars out of 5 -- "Richer, heavier, more lustrous than PRIMARY COLOURS, this is the band left to their own devices, shut away from the outside world, writing and playing their version of pop..."
Ranked #6 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "[S]ongs reminiscent, in many places, of Simple Minds in their aesthetic pomp."
4 stars out of 5 -- "It's clear-eyed quality that persists throughout, no matter how hard the music works to disorientate and disturb....This isn't blissed-out dream-pop but a beautiful Twin Peaks-style nightmare."
4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the eight-minute closer, 'Oceans Burning,' that captures The Horrors in full effect....The Horrors have come of age."

Clash (Magazine) - "Whether patient and brooding or brash and immediate, SKYING is constantly elevating."
