Jul 19, 2024Ultimately, ‘I Love You So F***ing Much’ is as confident, self-aware and ambitious as a record by a band who’d rocketed skyward last time around should be.
-
Jul 19, 2024I Love You So F***ing Much sees Glass Animals navigate a tricky tightrope between the ascendancy of their last album and a self-knowing tricksiness that accompanied other works – taunting energy that belies ten tracks showcasing the band at their most introspective.
-
Jul 19, 2024It doesn’t let up for a moment: all 10 songs open with clever soundbite hooks as they push hard into verses that sound like choruses, bridges that sounds like anthems, and choruses that sound like Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran and Elton John got together to write the ultimate Eurovision jingle.

Jul 19, 2024Dreamland may have been the album that made Glass Animals big, but song for song, I Love You So F***ing Much's thoughtful, anxious pop might be more rewarding.

Jul 19, 2024‘I Love You So F***ing Much’ is a bold return from Glass Animals, at times it feels that the concept slightly overpowers the album, but overall it’s a confident and well-crafted album that feels like it could be front and centre of an eclectic sci-fi soundtrack from the eighties.

Rolling StoneAug 1, 2024Forwarding the formula that worked on "Heat Waves" fails to render a similarly catchy song this time out, which means harried, heartsick overreaches like "How I Learned To Love The Bomb" and "On The Run" end up drifting and meandering inti a dolefully ambiguous musical and emotional middle distance.

Jul 22, 2024Inoffensive music Iike this is an affront to the very idea of what makes music so worthy of obsession and analysis. It's the antithesis of self-expression; this ain't no victimless crime. For the first time, I understand the term: this is pure co-worker music.

Jul 19, 2024Lacking the kind of big hooks that anchored Heat Waves, it doesn’t feel eclectic so much as nonspecific.

Jul 19, 2024There are odd moments that cut through – there’s a pleasingly succinct guitar solo on opener Show Pony, and A Tear in Space (Airlock) does a nice line in polite euphoria – but as a whole this is very much a case of all surface, no feeling.

Jul 22, 2024There’s just so very little here to work with, and even as a listener who’s dying to find things to like about this album, every minute spent revisiting it feels like a minute wasted. I sure hope they have it in them to rebound from this disastrous release.
