    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 This is a Beautiful, poetic and diverse album.

"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

    Better than Margarine Eclipse; a complete return to form. The Groop has a harder edge on some tracks. The Rolling Stone hates it should convince the doubters.

    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'.

    I'm sure I'm in the minority in this opinion, but this is actually my favorite Stereolab album. It is probably the "poppiest" of Stereolab's albums, but they make great pop songs, so it is naturally very good. The songs "Get a Shot of the Refrigerator," "Vodiak," and "Excursions Into 'oh, a-oh'" literally make me feel ecstatic.

    Their naggingly overused Farfisa is balanced by otherwise beautifully layered, complex arrangements of trombone, electronics and harmony vox. [Apr 2006, p.118]

    Vintage Stereolab. [#13, p.95]

    The formula is familiar... but the results can be stranger than recent 'Lab fare. [#71, p.91]
