ReviewsRanked #13 in Kerrang's Best Albums Of The Year 2008 -- "They broadened the horizons of their already expansive sound into something truly breathtaking...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A study in timbral counterpoint, where themes are built and torn down and built again perpetually in a circular swirl-catapulting from the void up to the heavens and back again.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "When they work up a good buzz and growl or hit a scrumptious riff, Mogwai still take your breath away.", "Rich textures reveal themselves anew with every listen. Few bands write this many great songs in a career, let alone on one, sole album.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE HAWK IS HOWLING finds Glasgow's guitar army relaxing the taut, economical songcraft of its 2006 predecessor, MR. BEAST, and setting a new standard for irreverent track titles.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The release of the band's sixth studio album sees the Glasgow quintet surpass themselves, not only on the musical side of things, but on the song title front too.", "Refining their sound without losing their passion for noise, the Scots post rock troupe have lost none of their vicious charm."
