Enter Shikari forever👋🏼💖

Enter Shikari are perhaps one of the most interesting bands in rock to emerge in the past ten years. The Mindsweep is another amazing milestone for this band, and redefines the high standards set by AFFOC, which was already an amazing album. Shikari are unmatchable at moving from frantic moments to subsequent calm areas, which is amazing to listen to. This album features several killer tracks, from the Beautiful 'The Last Garrison', 'Torn Apart' and 'The One True Colour', to the Killer attack anthem 'Anaesthetist'and the flowing 'Myopia', This album goes from strength to strength, and the rest of the tracks are amazing, the album easily deserves 5 stars.

This album is just over the charts

How can you not say negative stuff about this

Worst album they've done! I hate the direction they're going in. I'm out. Never buying a Shikari album again. Last Garrison and Slipshod are decent but that's it.

Waste of money!

Fantastic album, I can relate to the lyrics and there are few bands that portray their feelings better than Enter Shikari, it speaks of many issues and emotions. From start to finish it gives you a sense that there are things in this world that need to be addressed and Shikari know how to tell you a story of life

Amazing!!!!!! Btw at the end of the appeal and mindsweep 2 it says 😂😂😂😂natuto😂😂😂😂

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Work of genius. Well worth a listen, can't seem to stop listening to it!

Was extremely pumped for the release of this album along with every single ES fan. Listening to the kerrang stream the day before release left me with a empty feeling if I'm being honest. However listening to this album on repeat just gets you hooked! Granted there are not as many drops that A flash flood of colour, common dreads and take to the skies really nailed, but the technicality and power within the songs on this album is simply incredible! Chris and Rory all give a solid voice on every are involved in and Rou is just how he always is, lyrically sound and vocally mesmerising. Myopia and Torn Apart are what seems to be everyone's favourite, however personally There's a price on your head and The one true colour just give me goosebumps every time I listen to them! This album is well worth the money you pay for, however if there are any shikari fans that are expecting guitar filled drops and hard punk like TTTS, you may be disappointed, but me personally, I simply Love It...

I'm not enerally a fan of Enter Shikari, in fact I only like 2 songs (Sorry you're not a winner and Jonny Sniper) However, from the opening spoken words of this album I was hooked. I heard Anesthetist and thought "it's ok" but then I heard "The Appeal and the Mindsweep 1" and I realised this isn't just a new album. This is a strong politcal voice that everyone of us can relate too! Musically, it's pretty darn awsome with shouting/screaming that reminds me of Architects, but its the lyrics that truly stand out. Definitely an amazing album!

The contrast and range of vocals on this album is incredible.

This album is a all time peek every song is just incredible and anything other than 5 stars would be undeservedly although slipshod isn't a favourite :)

When I first started listening to ES back during TTTS days, I was a bit sceptical about them. But then FFOC came along and it gripped me, purely musically speaking. But listening to the same songs over and over and over and suddenly I started grasping the lyrical genius that Rou produced into each and every song. I was swooped off my feet the first time I _properly_ listened to FFOC and was well excited for TMS. And then the first couple of songs hit iTunes. The Last Garrison, Never Let Go Of The Microscope and Slidshod were among the first ones and again I was sceptical because ES seemed to take on a new musical direction. However, once I listened to each song for each’s sake, I started to realize that this really was a political nuclear payload compared to FFOC: The combination of much more aggressive musical elements and Rou’s (again) perfect lyrical input for each song make this a one-of-a-kind album. I LOVE The Appeal & The Mindsweep I (first song) simply for the encouragement and feel of solidarity that ES manage to give in what is essentially a speech put into a song. I cannot recommend this album enough to anyone who loves FFOC and still looks for something heavier than that. I bow to you lads, job perfectly well done.

I love this

Unreal.

Shikari have done it again, this album is amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone

Never before have i been so excited for an album to be released. Never before have I been so thrilled when it finally did arrive. The album is brilliant from back to front, no weak songs whatsover. Particular highlights for me would be 'Never Let Go of The Microscope' and 'Anaesthatist'. The former proving itself to be one of ES best ever songs in my opinion. Truly brilliant.

I prefer the previous album "A Flash Flood of Colour" though but this is still great

Speaking as someone who thinks Enter Shikari have been the most interesting and innovative British band of the last few years, by miles, this sounds like a group hitting a technical peak but having a creative lull at the same time. The melodies don’t soar as high, the drops are fewer and weaker, and the comedy-edged, nuanced socio-economic message has given way to over-simplistic GCSE-level political ranting. They’re still untouchable in the grand scheme of things, and when this album hits its stride it’s spine-tingling (Myopia and Torn Apart are Enter Shikari close to their best), but it’s a definite musical decline from the perfect highs of Common Dreads and A Flash Flood. Sorry, The Mindsweep, you’re not a winner. \o/

Production on this album is absolute top notch, very powerful album, from the opening track "The Appeal & The Mindsweep I" through to "Slipshod" incredible, Enter Shikari have delivered yet again!

Love this album a lot

After hearing the singles released during late 2013 and all of 2014 I was sure that Enter Shikari were going to deliver kill it with this album.

After hearing the album I can't complain, as it is defiantly good, but doesn't have the same power or fluency that the singles have, even though I feel like very single song has the potential to be great if they truly wanted them to be?

Enter Shikari have always been good at staying true to their fans, and this album continues to do them justice, however it didn't quite blow me away, as all their other albums in the past have done!

This is an incredible piece of work by Enter Shikari. Their best album to date in my opinion with its variety of styles and the powerful messages that are brought up. Amazing production by Dan Weller!

The Mindsweep has raised the bar extremely high to be the album of 2015

Listening to this on Spotify and its so good. The first track is just incredible 10/10

Dynamic and captivating from beginning to end!

Brilliant. Such a varied style. From brutality to extreme tenderness - sometimes in the same song. And with a message of serious social sustainability. Never let go of that microscope.

This band continues to produce outstanding music. The message the deliver is so great and relatable. Everybody needs to buy this album and all of their others. Can't wait to see you guys live again in Feb!

It's not a bad album, but it never strides to be genius like the first 2 albums. It's far better than A Flash Flood Of Colour, but as someone else has said, the on-the-nose political lyrics are tiring now.

It's a good album but some of the songs are stupidly quite :(

... The paper burnt for days.

Amazing, but I wouldn't expect anything less from shikari. Dear future historians is now one of my firm favourite songs of all time. Brilliant band. Cannot fault them in the slightest. Cannot wait to see them live again in a few weeks. 10/10

Was sure i pre ordered it. Won't allow me to download the rest of them, even if i try and buy them. The songs i've heard are great though...

Never have I heard a band who can get their message across in such literal, powerful and artistic ways! Enter Shikari are 100% committed to shaping this world into what it should be, and love to show a complete disregard for music's worthless boundaries while they do it. True genius! True art! Truly inspiring!

If you value society's 'rules' of music and songwriting, my advice is that you steer well f#cking clear of this one!!

Perfect!!! So happy. Album is insane 😍❤️

Absolutely awesome album by the boys again, always progressing and pushing to get the most emotionally fulfilling music across to people. Great messages, great album, Legendary Band.

Honestly. This is the best album I've ever heard. I haven't stopped listening to it all day. I really wanted to see you live in Wolverhampton but couldn't afford it. After listening to this album im making it my life long goal to see you live and experience the masterpiece that is this album. Every buy and love this album it's perfect.

You f#%king spanning.

Enter Shikari have done it again! This album is their best to date and is set to be album of the year - 2015.

The lads have done it again, more and more these guys keep outdoing themselves. If this doesn’t make it to #1 then I worry about how the music industry is going

I love shikari and this album has not changed my opinion one of their most powerful albums to date!

Anyone who says different can yabba dabba do one son!

This album makes my ding ding much larger

Incredible album and thats all there is to say. Myopia stands out as a personal favourite

Nifty album

Instrumentally very impressive but the political messages that get in your face within this album ruin it

this album is amazing

After hearing the stream of the album on their website all week, this has to be their best work to date!!

I got this today in the morning and haven't stopped playing it. It's a great album and I am so happy I paid the extra to have the real CD. All credit goes to the lads another great album and can't wait for the next one.

After this song I'm 100% assured that Shikari will drop another great album for us all! My album deluxe addition came today, so I'm all set for the gym and the rest of this year until I see them at download!

So far this is amazing and I'm addicted to every song. Super stoked to see them play this live!

Dynamic, rhythmic and pulsating. Great blend of heavy riffs and electronic trance. Quite beautiful in places too. Cracking effort from a truly original band.

The opening track is huge, a massive speech by Rou into a hugh synth drop, can't wait for the rest of it to become available, it's huge, it would be, its Shikari

Slipshod sounds like the feast and the jester on steroids

After only one song I am 100% sure that the rest of this album is going to be AMAZING. Excited.
