Finn JK gave it a9:
Instant love. I'm struggling not to give it a full ten. The main reason it doesn't max out is the chiptune'ish backdrop. I love the sound - but it's not generally compatible with a lot of people. So, I'll give it a 9, as it appeals to me, but not a whole lot of my friends...
david r. gave it a10:
Nice. So I guess it's 2006 and that's all we're getting from Ratatat.
Piero D gave it a2:
lame
Leonardo F gave it a9:
a great album.
Kelly P gave it a10:
The best album I've ever heard...ever. It's a revelation, simply beautiful.
Matty B gave it a10:
One of my favorite albums in years, beautiful guitars, and wonderful simplicity makes the songs vibes loud and clear If its not your thing it's not your thing, but suggesting that Ratatat add vocals is like suggesting that Jackson Pollock should try painting some landscapes, or still life.....its just dumb.
stoop blur gave it a10:
super awesome. much more original sound than one would be led to believe. electronica for people who like rock
