Certainly feels like teh hatorz have come out en masse..."I like/ have respct for electronic music...dissonance" ... bet they have lots of gay friends too...*grin* Certainly it has its flaws. Sure, bits are a bit cliched. Overall, however, it envelops and immerses - what more could you ask for. I do get the feeling though that this will be a very ploarising release and middle ground will be more of a no-man's land sourced with mines.
Andrew R. gave it a9:
Spectacular. There are plenty of beautiful melodies here, and rather than disappearing behind the noise, they are augmented and amplified by the disorienting contrast. It's funny to see this described as "noise for the wannabe hip" as some of the finest albums in history have been marked by the experimental meeting the accessible halfway.

Most mind-melding release of 2008
Harry G gave it a5:
Where do we place this album? Noise for the wannabe hip, is about right I think. This will see you through a listening or two but if you want a bit of meat behind the beat, try Plaid or Amon Tobin.
Matt H gave it a10:
This album may take a few listens to sink in (and really should be consumed all in one sitting), but under these conditions is as stirring and gorgeous at turns as it is abrasive and harrowing at others. One of the most inventive records in years.
Eduardo D. gave it a9:
This is the perfect soundtrack for the end of the world.
Micky C. gave it a2:
This is just another example of indie music disappearing up it's own posterior. I agree with both Remington Steel and Kurt on this. They will be both quickly forgotten and a cause of embarrassment to those who briefly "claimed" to enjoy this.
