    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

    A sonic innovator. The best modern experimental record i've heard yet. Squarepusher defines the future of music on this record with fresh new sounds, conceptual free rythms, and teases us with a little bit of everything going on in the experimental world all at once.

    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

    An album which makes his previous excesses seem conservative.... Dazzling though this bombardment is, it's a draining experience. [Jul 2001, p.97]
  2. 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.
  3. The glassy-eyed micro-manic bass-'n'-breaks belligerence on show-offy tracks on this Squarepusher longplayer is either tellingly tired or terrifically tiring, with Jenx's wicked licks of brown-note boogie either spuriously slow in the foot or a swift kick to the collective ass of a collectively ass-kissing musical community.
