"On their first album in seven years, Broken Social Scene distill their sound to a vital essence. The band is focused and renewed, invigorated by the missionary spirit of their best work." - Pitchfork: Best New Music (8.4) 
"It’s brilliant. It’s the record Broken Social Scene have always had within them… Broken Social Scene’s best album.” - The Quietus
"It’s a glorious return; joyous, enraged and exciting” - Q (4-stars) 
"With members like Feist and Emily Haines back in the fold for the band’s first album in seven years, every song is big, anthemic and emotionally invigorating” - The Guardian (4-stars) 
“‘Hug Of Thunder’ is exactly that: an intimate embrace by an old friend that often contains electrifying highs, but also jolts you with its emotional and musical intricacy. With BSS’s return, the world certainly seems a brighter place”  - DIY (4-stars) 
“This is simply the sound of a band having the time of their lives. A delight.”  - The Skinny (4-stars) 
“Some of the most exuberant and immediately engaging music they’ve ever recorded… Music that feels comforting and necessary.” -

Uncut (8/10) 
“Possessing pop hits that are unmatched in scale and scope… Its genuinely great to have the innovators back.”  - Louder Than War (9/10)
"BSS have made an album that trumps any cynicism that they may have faced, and in the process Hug of Thunder is as hearteningly unguarded and positive a record as you are likely to hear this year.”  - Drowned In Sound (7/10)
"BSS have managed to master the balance between spiky energy, tender melody and a singular knack for carving out a soaring chorus. Hug Of Thunder has undoubtedly been a long time coming, but it has unequivocally been worth the wait” - The Line Of Best Fit (8.5/10) 
"Broken Social Scene Pits Creativity Against Collapse on ‘Hug of Thunder’" - New York Times (Album Of The Week) 
"Hug Of Thunder is exactly what you’d expect from Broken Social Scene after seven years away, and there’s comfort in the idea that this group of people will forever be intertwined as the world burns down around us." - Stereogum 
"Featuring all 15 original members of the band (Broken Social Scene has never done minimal), Hug Of Thunder does not skimp" - NPR
