Revolutions is pretty breathtaking.

Alternative Press
Solidly entertaining. [Aug 2004, p.122]

Blender
This album stands on its own, with... an emphasis on beats rather than technical tricks. [#27, p.149]

Entertainment Weekly
The X-ecutioners force the ire on their third album, Revolutions, with mixed results.
75
Los Angeles Times
These songs are accented by the X-ecutioners' deft scratching and energetic beats, resulting in a regularly exciting and inventive album.

Urb
In a case of not fixing what isn't broken, they return with a veritable cornucopia of crossover-ready collaborators eager to see if lightning can indeed strike twice. [Jul/Aug 2004, p.127]

All Music Guide
The just fair pop tracks keep it from being classic, but this is the best the talented team has sounded on record yet.

PopMatters
I find myself pleasantly surprised by just how catchy and accessible the album is.

Q Magazine
Amidst all this, the trio's scratching feels peripheral, and when it does take centre stage, is underwhelming. [Jul 2004, p.127]

Rolling Stone
Too many forgettable concoctions make this just another so-so DJ mix. [10 Jun 2004, p.91]

Tiny Mix Tapes
Revolutions is an extremely boring affair, never building any momentum from the start to finish.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
All too often finds X-Ecutioners playing second fiddle to an outsized roster of uninspired guests.
