NYPC's restrained disco needs to rip it up and get wilder, cos this down‘n’dirty posse is actually cleaner than a Boots cosmetics counter.
-
Fantastic Playroom packs enough innovation in its boosters to reach new rave escape velocity.
-
Fantastic Playroom puts the emphasis on the content, not the trend, and in so doing makes a damn good case for post-punk's matriculation.
-
It is a fetching 40-minute album, with each song supplying its own set of penetrating hooks, ear-ticklingly sharp guitars, moody synthesizer gauze, and mobile rhythms.
-
As singles, most of these songs would fly off of the shelves, but taken as a whole album it can get a bit tiring.
-
If Fantastic is saying anything meaningful, it's "shut the hell up and have some fun."
-
The only thing that prevents Fantastic Playroom from being a wholly perfect creation is the simple fact that, as good as it is, this is still only their first album.
