We currently know 11 reviews for "Nocturnal Koreans" by Wire. The album received pretty solid reviews among the critics and is one of the better ones this year.
"Fifteen albums into its career, the band has never sounded more ready to rip up its playbook and forge ahead into new territory."
The A.V. Club
"This is a return to the stratospherically high standards they've maintained for a remarkable amount of time."
Under The Radar
"With Nocturnal Koreans Wire have done it again, leaving you with that craving for more: More noise. More weirdness. More bloody Wire."
Drowned In Sound
"Their 15th album hails from the same sessions as last year’s acclaimed Wire, but while that set was taut and direct, the eight songs here are more textured, full of counter-melodies and shifting sonic landscapes."
The Guardian
"Even if Nocturnal Koreans' sound isn't always textbook Wire, its imagery and wit most certainly are, making the album much more than the collection of leftovers its origins might have suggested."
AllMusic
"Aat its best this reassuringly svelte and only occasionally sparse eight-track EP is a thing of beauty."
Classic Rock Magazine
"True to that nighttime scene-setter, Nocturnal Koreans ranks among Wire’s most musically relaxed releases, with Newman mostly singing in calm, sometimes hushed tones. But it’s only relaxed in the sense that a sleepless night in your bedroom is relaxed."
Pitchfork
"They haven't quite carved out new territory here, but if the best moments of Nocturnal Koreans are anything to go by, the wheels have started turning."
The Quietus
"As is the case with most Wire albums, they sure can hit the proverbial mark when they’re willing."
PopMatters
"Despite its shortcomings, Nocturnal Koreans is a decent collection sifted from the excess of an even more solid album, which is certainly enough to keep Wire moving forward."
Consequence of Sound
"Although comprised of re-worked leftovers from last year’s excellent Wire album, Nocturnal Koreans finds the band still managing to find new routes to take away from that tightly-focused project."
