Critical reception
Шаблон:MCalbum[5] At The Arts Desk, Graham Fuller rated this 4 out of 5 stars, writing that it maintains the momentum of the band's past two albums.[6] The Daily TelegraphШаблон:'s Andrew Perry listed this among the albums of the week and scored it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "definitely Lydon’s most approachable album ever".[7] In The Irish Examiner, Ed Power gave this album 4 out of 5 stars for mixing "as raw a depiction of grief as you’ll hear" on "Hawaii" with "rollicking fury" and some "riotous triumph".[8] Edwin McFee of Hot Press considered this release a 6 out of 10, noting the different stylistic shifts in the music.[9] Louder Than WarШаблон:'s Tim Cooper wrote that "the best moments are the more musically adventurous ones" on this album and also complains that "there’s a plodding, leaden feel to much of the music on these 13 songs and a plodding, leaden mood to Lydon’s lyrical preoccupations, which tend towards the old-white-man variety: either complaining, usually about the evils of the modern world, the young people that live in it, wokeness; or just vacuous and silly, and occasionally inappropriate".[10] David Murphy of musicOMH scored End of World 3 out of 5 stars, opining that "Lydon sounds cracking for the most part, but the music is rather less consistent".[11] Reviewing the album, in The Observer, Phil Mongredien commented, "John Lydon and band once again veer between hit and miss, from the poignantly affecting to the particularly annoying... As with all of PiL’s recent albums, End of World is frustratingly hit and miss".[12] Ben Cardew, writing for Pitchfork Media rated this release a 6.7 out of 10, stating that Lydon's "voice remains captivating—and, occasionally, surprisingly moving" and particularly praising "Hawaii" as "the rare PiL song since their 2009 reunion where the music lives up to the vocals’ ingenuity and character".[13]
Mojo ranked this the 65th best album of 2023.[14] This was included in BrooklynVeganШаблон:'s listing of 33 great albums from indie/alternative legends.[15]
