    The album is a parasite, a pollutant, and should be kept well away from children and old people.

    In anybody else's hands, a blending of techy aesthetics and near-tender melodies would be a musical oxymoron, but in Squarepusher's, it is delicious.

    The album is short on the wistful melodies and jazz overtones that have made Squarepusher stand out from his fellow post-everything experimentalists, making Go Plastic -- notwithstanding "My Red Hot Car" -- something of a disappointment.

    Quite an experiment in not only the limits of drum 'n' bass, but listenability as well. [Jul 2001, p.81]

    where to begin..... tom jenkinson is THE daddy. If yr looking for a crappy pop band, u shud get this album anyway, because maby just maby it wud inspire you to think about music, rather than if its got lyrics in it. This man has balls, and i wudnt mind them in a jar. top notch........ peace… Expand

    Now that I have had the past half decade to familiarize myself with all of Tom's work and have deliberated endlessly about which of his works is his greatest. I have little doubt left that this is truly his masterwork. Do You Know SP? had a better "single" leadoff track but this album had it all. Awesome lead track, some of his craziest work ever and really the best collage of tracks from any of his albums. There are just no duds on this one like there are occasionaly on all his other albums... not a missable moment here. Track to track there is also a lot of variation and probably something for every experimental electronic fan. CHOICE… Expand
