  1. Some may blow off Tongues as too jammy or underdeveloped, but neither is truly the case and, in fact, it's unpolished characteristic is core to it's sound.
  2. Tongues is a record of surpassing depth and ingenuity.
  3. The reason Tongues works so well is not because the song lengths are significantly shorter, but because both Hebden and Reid interact on the same wave length.
  4. It doesn't always work, but there are more than enough explosive moments to pick up the slack.
  5. Uncut

    More structured than its predecessors. [Apr 2007, p.102]
  6. 'Tongues' contains some of the most uneasy listening ever.

    The pair are so full of ideas, there's scarcely a dull moment. [Apr 2007, p.119]
