    I didn't really think I would like this group, but they are one of the first good new bands I've heard in what seems like years! Fresh, rocking and wild! Can't wait to hear more from them!

    I feel sorry for all of you that are up pitchfork's asses and go along with all their opinions. You're missing one of the most fun and catchy albums ever.

    What LCD Soundsystem did for me last year, CSS does today. I can dance like a fool without sacrificing brain cells.

    Not that cool... but not that bad. Geek enough to make you smile as you dance.

    There's only 2 or 3 really good songs here, but there's something incredibly charming about their music that makes them interesting. Better than Donkey still

    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.

    Two good songs, the rest is crap. Lyrics are childish, instruments poorly played, vocal range is inexistent. Shit!

  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.
