If all that this still-decent album does is pique interest in what Dananananaykroyd are like live, then it will have done its job because that is where the magic lies.
-
Hey Everyone! manages to occupy a space all of its own--an achievement in itself.
-
Dananananaykroyd are, on this album's evidence, a fine band.
-
Dananan’s first album proper suffers from the same problems as Los Campesinos!’ flawed debut; ‘Black Wax’ and ‘Pink Sabbath’ are both thrilling, if wonky, pop songs, but they could be appreciated more fully as singles rather than back to back.

Q MagazineWhile there is plenty here that's impressive, the odd change of gear wouldn't go amiss next time around. [May 2009, p.110]

UncutDriven by two drummers they owe much to the styles of Fucked Up, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Torche, but on 'Black Wax' they apply the brakes, revealing a surprising amount of melodic, colle-rock bounce. [May 2009, p.82]
-
In its own combustive way, it's weirdly memorable.
-
Everyone will find something appealing about Dananananaykroyd, no matter how small, but it’s difficult to imagine anyone truly loving this record, regardless of whether they judge it by its cover.
