   Deerhoof have a major ADD problem, stylistically speaking, and it's part of what makes it so good. I sometimes get the impression their albums sound like someone made a compilation out of quirky post-rock bands, and then ask the same singer to cover all songs. They're just basically so creative on this album. So many ideas, with few, if no misfires.… Expand

   Deerhoof is one of the most consistently great bands today...but they're also one of the most under-rated. Their bizarre quirkiness is probably to blame for this, but this album boasts some of the band's most accessible moments yet. "Behold a Marvel In the Darkness" and "Super Duper Rescue Heads" are both loaded with catchy moments, and they're a blast to listen to. The band isn't as hyperactive as they have been in the past, but the more laid-back feeling of the album somehow feels very natural. This rivals Offend Maggie as Deerhoof's most compositionally interesting work. An absolute must for Deerhoof fans, and worth checking out for anyone wanting to find something new and interesting...and just plain fun.… Expand

   It’s never enough to experiment. Deerhoof release their tenth album and as usual they remember about bizarre concepts. Don’t let that title mislead you - the band is having fun, fun, fun here. Qui Dorm, Només Somia is kinda tropical but the lyrics are somehow about Dracula. Super Duper Rescue Heads! guarantees even more amusement: Me to the rescue, me to the rescue / Hello, hello, you lucky so-and-so. Almost Everyone, Almost Always seems to be an odd marching song. Satomi Matsuzaki has a sweet voice and I wouldn’t mind her singing about corn-growing. This being Deerhoof, fighting evil is pure joy.… Expand
