-
As a knowing send-up of youth culture, Afterparty Babies can be both funny and obnoxious.
-
Pemberton doesn't strain to impress. He doesn't need to: his darting intelligence and racing imagination are evident in every line.
-
He backs up his insolence with dense, tricky productions that pile samples and scratching atop techno and electro beats and go increasingly haywire as he gets more worked up.

Pemberton’s lyrics can be long-winded, but on the whole, they display a postmodern reflexivity that is profoundly mind-boggling.
