In a three-star review, NME described ‘Merrieland‘ as “an album that meanders through Brexit Britain at a meandering pace.”

“It’s not the first album that’ll reference Brexit, and while some, like Idles’ ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’, are relatively frank in a manifesto of love and unity, few will silently despair quite like the muddled ‘Merrie Land’ does. There are references to leaders who are “disconnected and raised up in mansions”, but if you’ve come for on-the-nose commentary, you’ll likely not find it here,” our review stated.

“Ruminations on a post-Brexit nation from a bunch of middle-aged musicians is, perhaps, less essential than it seems to deem itself, but there are probing thoughts and moments to make it worth sticking with. The nation’s changing faster than this band’s approach to albums, but it’d be interesting to see a follow-up to after the deed is done next March.”
