|---|---|---|---|
| Beats Per Minute | 85% | 85 | “Music News, Reviews, Interviews, Videos and MP3s” |
| Slant | 4/5 | 80 | “It’s difficult to avoid clichés about the band coming “full circle” with this release, or to comment on Alex Turner’s songwriting maturity.” |
| PopMatters | 8/10 | 80 | “"Lately, I've been seeing things," Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner croons over the skill-saw chording that initiates "Black Treacle", the second song on” |
| musicOMH | 4/5 | 80 | “"You're not from the Mohave Desert; you're from High Green." That seemed to be the general reaction to the sludgy, desert-rock of Arctic Monkeys' last” |

How the Breakdown works
Every outlet’s score is converted to 0–100 (2/5 is 40, 5.9/10 is 59, a B+ is 88) and averaged. Grades follow the B-Side scale: A is 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60. Critics who liked it is the share of outlets that scored it 75 or higher; the Breakdown shows green at 75 and up, red below. Divisiveness asks a different question: not whether critics liked it, but how close their scores are to each other. Five critics who all give it 50 are Unanimous, even though none of them liked it. The labels run Unanimous, Broad agreement, Some debate, Divided, and Contentious. Replay rate comes from listeners, not critics: yes counts fully, a few tracks counts half, no counts zero. The gist quotes each outlet’s own summary of its review. Scores marked est. come from reviews that publish no number.
