Jeffrey Petrin wrote in Play: "Foals are the latest Sub Pop band drawing attention from the bloggers, hipsters and rock critics across the nation — as well as across the pond — where these Oxford, England natives have been tagged as 'the next big thing.' It makes a certain degree of sense, as their latest record, Antidotes, is chock full of mathy, noisy post-rock, mixed with heavy dance beats — a formula that has certainly been done before — but it seems Foals are doing it right. Produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, the record will, no doubt, satisfy the appetites of fans of !!!, The Faint and Battles" ("Listen: Worth the Trip," 4/16/08, p. 21).
