Unpatterns is the third studio album by English electronic music duo Simian Mobile Disco, released on 14 May 2012 by Wichita Recordings.

She commented on the "dark, uneasy undercurrent that gives everything, even the more straightforward party tracks, an edge of the ominous", stating that "this tightly controlled sense of threat, syringed out in timed doses, has always been SMD's strength"; opining overall that "Unpatterns is not without fault – the closing trio of tracks is forgettable – but it contains perhaps some of the pair's best work, and anyone who loved the nastier side of Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release but balked at Delicacies' measured gore should get back on board".

[6] Phelan Laurence of The Independent called the tracks on the album are "solid, polished [and] dancefloor-friendly", through did find that "it's only on 'Put Your Hands Together' that we're reminded of their nifty way with a vocal hook".

[8] The Guardian's Paul MacInnes felt that "a lot of time has been spent on this record, and it shows: every tone has the clarity of applied refinement", stating that "this lends the album a degree of beauty, one reinforced by the delicacy of the songs' composition".

[7] Joe Rivers of Clash found that while the album did contain "The hallmarks of Simian Mobile Disco", in that the beats and loops utilised felt the same, he felt the lack of vocals on the album was a problem, stating that "many of the tracks just feel like they're missing a vital component"; concluding "the individual components sound fantastic, but high audio quality does not a good record make".
