    Daniel's bump-and-grind synth lines are all campy humor. [Mar 2005, p.92]

    One of this year's most remarkable "punk" albums.

    Genuinely anarchic and surprising. [Dec 2004, p.148]

    The compatibility between the browbeating belligerence of hardcore and the glitzkrieg of techno’s bare repetition is undeniable – and much more enjoyable than it reads on paper.
  7. Stylus Magazine

    It’s a highly idiosyncratic album that very few will appreciate every facet of. However, even with a very minimal knowledge of the source material, there’s much to love.

    None of the new album reaches the gaudy peaks of Do You Party?, but it bumps just as well through subtle atmospheres and strange detours.

    One of the best releases of 2004. The beats are as razor-sharp as the messages delivered in the lyrics. Fuck new wave, give me the SOFT PINK TRUTH.

    I'd be willing to bet the reviewer at the Alternative Press is a serious homophobe.

    this album is not perfect because it's too short (32 min), but despite this fact, this ROCKS! we want more soft pink truth!
