A track-by-track review was released today:
Quote:
‘End Of The Line’
‘Crush’ may have bordered on tacky 80s pop, but ‘End Of The Line’ is possibly the closest Sleigh Bells will ever get to dream-like indie. All warm, dewy guitar parts and breathy, Emily Haines-style vocals, if Sleigh Bells have a softer side, this is it. Another potential contender for a single release, ‘End Of The Line’ would come into its own on a humid summer day.
‘Demons’ 
The loudest, angriest and scariest moment of the album, Derek’s guitar really bares its fangs in a riff that’ll make teenage boys salivate during ‘Demons’. Hip-hop beats and double-bass drum rain down like shrapnel while Alexis sings about burning down the orphanage. Lovely.
‘Never Let Me Go’
You could say the album’s penultimate track hints at a more progressive sound Sleigh Bells could explore on album #3. Fiddly guitar parts snake their way through a dank, labyrinthine space made oddly claustrophobic by Alexis’s hypnotic vocals. It’s by no means a nine-minute prog wig-out, but it still could alienate fans of Sleigh Bells’ snappy, grab-the-money-and-run aesthetic.
