    The four humanist protest songs she rolls out just before an unnecessarily dreamy closer seem so unforced you feel for all those who have striven so hard to do nothing more. Ari, Viv, Exene‑-because sisterhood is powerful, this one's for you.

    This is a pop dance album par excellence bristling with positivity, tunes and ideas.

    With every manifesto being tempered by a transforming mantra, Generation Indigo is quintessential Styrene.

    It's DIY-spirited, non-conformist and humourous, making this punk-war veteran's return a flavoursome treat. [Apr 2011, p.109]
