    Arguably the band’s most ambitious and melodic record in their two decades of existence.

    It’s a welcome return from the marquee indie act, who thread moments of humour, aspiration and joy across the album’s twelve tracks. Their sound is coated in a new varnish which leaves the listener feeling as rejuvenated as the band.

    What may be The Wombats' most plain fun album to date. [Mar 2025, p.41]

    The opener, “I’m Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come”, limps along as a desperately underfed indie pop track, built around the nearly humorous refrain, “I just hate everyone.” If only those were fightin’ words—because it’s all talk, set against music too malnourished and anxious to express anything, let alone pull off a Holden Caulfield vibe.
