    The album flows well, effortlessly segueing from Achtung Baby-like rock to mechanical new wave like Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys. O’Riordan and Koretsky sing simple lyrics, often repeating the same phrase over and over, allowing alternate meanings to sink in.

    Combining Koretsky's electro throb, Rourke's funky bass and O'Riordan's distinctive, albeit newly toned vocals. It particularly works on the uptempo and lush The Moon and the more hardcore Gunfight, enhancing everyone's reputation. [Oct 2016, p.107]

    Once, or if, expectations related to personnel are set aside, there are some meaty post-punk tunes among an uneven selection on Science Agrees.

    It’s experimental in a kitchen sink (including Chris Isaak) way rather than studied and arty à la Everything Everything. Too often, the results are a bit of a mess.

    D.A.R.K's serviceable but derivative electronica frames an unremarkable marshalling of collective talents. [Sep 2016, p.73]

    Amazing record. Maybe Koretsky is not even close to Dolores' star status but she's never sounded better. Yeah, this album sound similar toAmazing record. Maybe Koretsky is not even close to Dolores' star status but she's never sounded better. Yeah, this album sound similar to Moby's "Hotel" at times but Dolores and Oleg made it special. Expand
