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

    Gimmie Trouble: cyber funk or cyborg punk? [#70, p.86]
  4. 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.
  5. Gimmie Trouble reminds us that Adult. don't sound like anyone else... Not even themselves.
  6. 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.
  7. Uncut

    Fans of Fad Gadget and Add N To (X) take note. [Nov 2005, p.108]
