    All the songs sound cheap and gimmicky; they're almost laughably bad. Though somewhat catchy, the album lacks substance and is at best, mediocre bubbly pop.

  1. Lots of handclaps, woo woo backing vocals, and laughs amid funny observations about contemporary urban hipster life reveal an assured and charming debut.
  2. Under The Radar

    CSS’s debut is the real deal: eleven cuts of infectiously syncopated, tuneful post-punk that just may be the summer’s perfect soundtrack. [#14]
  3. All the elements for a smart, catchy dance-rock album seem to be in place, but the final product still remains slightly unstructured and rehashed.
