Stephen Jelbert's review: "the Falkirk miserabilists' fifth album is really more of the same" Rated 3.5.

Eric Wittmershaus' review: "a collection of tunes worthy of owning for the presence of more than two or three good songs and a bunch of run-of-the-mill musical soup."

Links to several reviews of the album.

Piers Martin's review: "a frequently beautiful record, as dark and twisted and funny as anything the band have ever produced." Rated 7 out of 10.

Camilo Arturo Leslie's review: "Moffat's gift for both eulogy and bile, and for making the unpalatable much less so is striking, repetition be damned." Rated 6.9.

Theodore Defosse's review: "I am certain that the songs on The Red Thread could have been better if the group had bypassed its trademark vocal style and actually played along with the lyrics".
