"Med Shook præsenterer Algiers et enormt muskuløst værk, der både kan inspirere og imponere. Algiers åbner op for en samhørighed, som både gemmer sig i musikken og i bandets tekstunivers ... Algiers giver indtryk af et band med en enorm musikalsk vision, og på Shook kommer bandet overbevisende i mål ... utvivlsomt noget af det mest spændende fra den amerikanske musikscene"

"Atlanta collective deliver turbulent, dense and diverse career-high ... Algiers' fourth ascends to greatness in giant steps, driven by an ambition suggesting Sign O' The Times-era Prince. Transcending their earlier post-punk paradigm, Shook's stories of struggle, pain and healing are painted in edgy electro, impassioned punk-soul, cloudbursts of jaz and rattlesnake trap pulses ... The album's sense of urgency and purpose is irresistible; there's a riot goin' on, and Algiers just lit the touchpaper"
