Holy Fire
"Holy Fire" holds an average rating of 76 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic, indicating "generally favourable reviews". David Renshaw of "NME" praised it as "a record that bursts out of the speakers" and added that although the album is energetic, "it's the way that the album as a whole unravels and blooms through repeat listens that marks it as Foals' finest moment to date". "Drowned in Sound" stated that "[n]ot only is "Holy Fire" utterly sublime, it's a record that's been six years in the making. A record where Foals have focussed their many triumphs and missteps into one cohesive statement". Ian Cohen of "Pitchfork" called "Holy Fire" an "ambitious record, one that operates on an artistic economy of scale, where the lustrous production and singles like "My Number" and "Inhaler" do the heavy work of confirming Foals' headliner status".
