    Insanely rich with ideas, hooks, smart artifice and real emotion, From The Pyre is a feast of giddy raptures. [Nov 2025, p.102]

    All in all, The Last Dinner Party have done it again - ‘From The Pyre’ is set to be on repeat well into the new year.

    From the Pyre is a bold, spellbinding second album, one that actually eclipses Prelude to Ecstasy not by outshining it, but by adding more depth to their oeuvre. The Last Dinner Party no longer sound like a band proving themselves. They sound like one who already has.
  4. 80
    While Prelude might feature thicker arrangements and traffic more in classic pathos, with Pyre, TLDP are as sublime and theatrical as ever.
  5. 80
    It’s an accomplished listen – still as deliciously dramatic as ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’, fleshing out their world more and more with daring, dashing songs of true depth.

    These are all big-hearted songs dreamed up in small rooms, and painted in bold Broadway strokes.

    It’s only when the band restrain their instincts for maximalism and melodrama – as on the beautiful (and still stompingly anthemic) I Hold Your Anger, a brooding exploration of maternal instinct – that the Last Dinner Party’s erudite, elaborate pop is able to really sing.
