Spin
Daniel's bump-and-grind synth lines are all campy humor. [Mar 2005, p.92]
90
Urb
Nasty and raw. [Jan/Feb 2005, p.97]
85
Pitchfork
One of this year's most remarkable "punk" albums.

80
Q Magazine
Genuinely anarchic and surprising. [Dec 2004, p.148]
80
Dusted Magazine
The compatibility between the browbeating belligerence of hardcore and the glitzkrieg of techno’s bare repetition is undeniable – and much more enjoyable than it reads on paper.

75
Stylus Magazine
It’s a highly idiosyncratic album that very few will appreciate every facet of. However, even with a very minimal knowledge of the source material, there’s much to love.

70
The Onion (A.V. Club)
None of the new album reaches the gaudy peaks of Do You Party?, but it bumps just as well through subtle atmospheres and strange detours.

60
The Guardian
It's hit and miss, and the self-consciously bloodless vocalists are a drag.

60
Uncut
As inventive and well-meaning as these bastard pop blasts are, they're still not a patch on the originals. [Dec 2004, p.153]
60
Playlouder
As an exercise in hubris and chutzpah it's a rather fascinating affair.

Alternative Press
Our quality of life would instantly improve if this disc didn't exist. [Feb 2005, p.94]
