Critical reception
Endless Scroll was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 74, based on 13 reviews.[1] Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 75 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 14 reviews.[13]
In July of 2018, a rating of 6/10 was given by Kevin Korber citing its "monochromatic" experience as "the songs on Endless Scroll have a habit of blending into each other over time". Their lyrics were praised, however.[14]
Many review sites place them around the 75/100 area (Metacritic - 74,[15] AOTY - 75, New Noise Magazine - 4/5[16] Clash - 8/10,[17] etc) and it has been mentioned that listening to them live or while they are on tour is a better experience than via audio device.
