“Ultimately what I think brought this concert to another level from other shows I have seen this past year is the passion from the Enter Shikari fans in the audience. When you have that amount of energy radiating from both the crowd, and every member on stage, that is one heck of a Juggernaut.”- Examiner.com

“…music that remains inventive in a way that deserves more credit than its creators seem to receive. From the mad mash of Arguing With Thermometers to the more reflective Constellations, the group’s melding together of dance music, metal riffs, punk energy and vocals that sound English rather than Californian make A Flash Flood of Colour not only a compelling effort, but an appropriately named one to boot.” – BBC Music

“Behind it all is a very modern pop suss that has seen them flirt with the charts since their inception. Their pacy antics are much more fun than the po Kerrang!-friendly pose of Pendulum and, in any case, any band who have the cool-free cheek to call a song “Hello Tyrannosaurus, Meet Tyrannocide” is definitely worth a punt.” – The Arts Desk 3/5
