Alternative Press
It's anything but a lo-fi vanity project. [Mar 2006, p.138]
Dusted Magazine
A pretty percolating electro-pop record that embraces sweetness and strangeness in equal measure.
Read Full Review >Pitchfork
The biggest hitch is that Electric President seemingly achieve all of their humble goals by mid-album, and so spend almost half their time with pencils down, repeating the day's assignments silently to themselves.
Read Full Review >Almost Cool
Arriving somewhere between the newer work of Styrofoam (on Morr) and The Postal Service, Electric President mainly dabbles in melancholy-tinged tracks with a couple bursts distributed through the album for good measure.
Read Full Review >Prefix Magazine
Not quite poppy and not quite moody, there's just not enough feeling in any direction to really make it stick.
Read Full Review >Tiny Mix Tapes
Everything about the album seems so careful, from the presentation to the songs themselves.

Best indietronica album. No way.
Liquid Todd gave it a7:
A pretty impressive debut from Jacksonville, Florida. How it ended up on German electronic label Morr Music is a mystery to me but I'm glad someone found these guys and put their music out. There are several solid tracks on this album.
Paraic O gave it a10:
I thought this album was amazing... I can listen to all the tracks on it without skipping any of them, which for me is an achievement!
Shelby S gave it a10:
Electric President has a way of capturing you with their music. Once you are sucked into this world of interesting lyrics and exciting beats you can't escape.
Charles Anonymous gave it a9:
This Album is a gentle cross between postal service and modest mouse. Two thumbs way up! For the past week it's acted like a remedy to all stress. Just can't stop listening to it. Good job...
wiliam o gave it a9:
For now, that's the best album of 2006!!!
Kate K gave it a10:
