“Foals continue pushing the dials while consolidating their past on What Went Down”
“The new Foals LP feels like the completion of an unplanned trilogy—Total Life Forever embraced commitment, Holy Fire yearned for liberation, and this is the band recoiling from the blowback. At this point, Foals have mastered an arena-funk hybrid that others have only touched on.”
“Despite it's dark album cover and heavy teaser tracks, Foals' What Went Down seems to be Foals as usual: A little depression, a little dance, a little drab.”
