    Half the time it's a match made in hipster heaven. [27 Jan 2006, p.85]
  2. Billboard

    The deafening dialectics often feel contrived, making Test Icicles sound like a fun "project," not a real band. [28 Jan 2006]
  3. The New York Times

    This is music that tries to be over-the-top and uncool: too hard, sometimes. But more often the songs are too contagious and exuberant to dislike.
