    Compare this latest instalment of vivid, left-wing existentialist pop with past triumphs like Mars Audiac Quintet and Emperor Tomato Ketchup, and it's every bit as good. [Apr 2006, p.102]

    Stereolab is arguably better now than it's ever been.

    Simultaneously a structural free-for-all and a glossy collection of diverse material.

    This is a Beautiful, poetic and diverse album. There is an improvement in the band's style... each tune manages to be wrapped in the most exquisite originality. The song I like the most of this album is "Whisper Pitch", magical sounds, a flawless ethereal landscape that reminds of one of those idyllic romance scenes from literature. "Interlock" is another excelent son, a funky vibe surrounds this song in a very original and psychedellic wave. Tlakin about the lyrics I can say tha tehy're very profond, like the ones in "Eye of the Volcano". Indeed this is a very good album, is much better than margerine eclipse and is as good as emperor tomato ketchup.… Expand

    less complex than their previous releases, the groop is having more fun with their music. they're rocking more - the songs have funky basslines, danceable beats and great guitar work by tim gane. my favorite tracks are 'eye of the volcano', 'get a shot of the refrigerator' and 'excursions into the oh a-oh'.… Expand
