Shake the Shudder was met with mixed to positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from music critics, the album has received an average score of 64, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on 12 reviews.[2] Stuart Berman of Pitchfork said that !!! "[have not] lost their flair for infusing peak-hour hysterics with sobering morning-after rumination."[7] However, in a far more critical review, Josh Gray of Clash described the album as "a terrible party bag: previous experience suggests that it should be full to the brim with party-poppers, balloons and dangerously sugary sweets but, in reality, all it contains is a few loose crayons and a small bar of vegan chocolate."

gollark: That's a horrible bodge which has all kinds of problems.
gollark: Being actually-simple is a design goal which I think is important, but this is not the way to do it, and I don't think it should be at the expense of useful features which improve readability. Like being able to ACTUALLY ABSTRACT THINGS.
gollark: Or RPNCalc v2.
gollark: Or lisp.
gollark: Simple would be Haskell without all the language extensions.
