Pulse was judged by MusicOMH to be a "bold change in direction....pulled off extremely competently".[3] The Scotsman newspaper suggested the "lilting conversational beauty of [the track] "Paperbacks" - up there with Joni Mitchell's best moments".[2] Popmatters viewed it as "less a game-changer than a paradigm shift",[4] while UNCUT magazine concluded it is "as beautiful as it is unsettling".[5]

gollark: "I'm so nice for not taking away his livelihood over making a bugfix for something related to " my" issue".
gollark: See, this is not helping your case.
gollark: I think you are unreasonable and your alleged "measures" another example of ominous things.
gollark: Oh no, how DARE they talk about a bug shown by a public published binary.
gollark: I didn't make any analogies like that, and this doesn't seem to have been a security issue. Additionally, based on your displayed attitudes I doubt there would have been a bug report without them forcing it.
