    If Ian Curtis had stuck around for Zoloft and Hot Hot Heat, Joy Division's Closer might've sounded a lot like this album. [Dec 2004, p.158]

    It's not so much that [they] sound a bit like The Rapture so much as, occasionally, they seem to be running off Xerox copies of specific Rapture songs. [29 Jan 2005, p.58]

    If you're a fan of the genre, don't bother with Dangerous Dreams unless you've absolutely exhausted your current dance records.

    Boring guitar, bad lyrics and singing. The drums and bass are good but repeat continuously and get boring
