    Even though there are no radical changes here, Gimmie Trouble sounds more like Adult. sharpening its edges than running in place.
  2. Pitchfork

    There is vintage new wave rawness and goth-inflected bounce all over this thing, and it manages to leave this band in fresh-sounding territory that's somehow miles away from most everything today's "new wave revivalists" and/or "electro-punks" have even thought about trying.

    Gimmie Trouble reminds us that Adult. don't sound like anyone else... Not even themselves.

    Sam capably fills the role of providing a shamanic base for the couple's creepy pounding rage, as well as a human touch to play along with the steady pump of the traveling drum machine.
