Critical reception
edit
Drowned in Sound called the album "a complex and matured experimental punk record that is both ravishingly beautiful and jaw-droppingly massive in one fouler-than-foul swoop."[5] PopMatters wrote that "although a valiant effort, The Always Open Mouth is, more or less, an amalgam of separate ideas, none of which seem to pan out."[8]
