Everything Everything have sculpted a masterpiece. ‘Get to Heaven’ may well have slipped from the clouds.
100
It feels like the Manchester-based band have taken the back off every current pop trend, jiggered about with the wiring, put in fresh batteries and made it all interesting again.
90
Even bigger and better things are to come for Everything Everything. Right now they are Britain's best pop band.
85
This is pop music with complex narratives, and if the masses are willing to listen, they could be the band that recharges the UK charts with genuinely meaningful music.

It's the insular nature of these songs that makes the album better than their previous efforts, a purity emerges from their new found restraint, there is depth to be found in its breathing room.
80
It’s a proven formula, but throw in cheeky wordplay and EE are a welcome counterpoint to today’s starchily sincere indie brood. A repeatedly rewarding follow-up.
80
They now harness their energy and admirable imagination to serve a song as precision-engineered pop chops have displaced the wilfully outre.
80
Here, then, is musical proof that clever calculations and emotion can mix.
80
Get to Heaven is another big step toward the leading spotlight the burgeoning art-pop genre needs.
80
The lyrical content, along with the album's constant energy, make this Everything Everything's most focused effort thus far, one that bundles brawny indie rock with 2010s Zeitgeist.
80
Everything Everything comes through with a creative, progressive pop album with equal parts eccentricity and accessibility.
72
While Get to Heaven's ceaseless terror and heavy arrangements can be overwhelming, more power to Everything Everything for attempting to offer a nuanced understanding of a broken world at a time when a lot of their significantly less imaginative British indie rock peers say worse than nothing.
70
Few records released in 2015 will feel as true to the times as this one. Their contemporaries might have long since buried their heads in the sand, but Everything Everything are up to their eyes in dread.
60
It’s often compelling, but you occasionally find yourself gripped by an overwhelming urge to turn it off.
Few albums match their cover so well... the music of Get To Heaven is colorful, expressive, somewhat frightening, and more than a little weird. Some might find Higgs' high and nasal vocal style grating, but I personally love it, and with melodies and hooks so sticky and lyrics as deceptively twisted and clever, I consider this record a modern art pop classic.

this is a very unique album with some amazing highs, it has lows tho
Hapsburg lippp reminds me of New slaves by kanye.... I think in the only one who thinks this
Get To Heaven was the first EE album I've ever listened to and DAMN! It is a colourful, creative, powerful and quite magical piece of art. It has pop, indie and electronic influences but the group managed to follow their own style, an unique style. Now that I know their older projects really well (such as Arc and Man Alive) I can see the evolution. They are now using catchy melodies and clever lyrics (not saying that Arc and Man Alive are bad!! These are great lps!!). Of course we hear the ... read more
Pure indie art pop bliss. Late to the party, but this would've most likely made my top 5 in 2015 had I bothered listening then. It's a subgenre cocktail with compelling lyrics and engaging performances throughout. I see this becoming a classic for me that will be in rotation for years to come.
