  1. Ima Robot mines the dark recesses of metal, glam, new wave and electro, meshing its findings without a stitch to produce memorable choruses that stick in your head long after they're gone.

    Like Grandaddy, they know the future isn't glitch-free, but they're gonna throw a good party anyway. [Oct 2003, p.113]

    Goofy out-of-time tunes. [Oct 2003, p.136]
  4. 70
    Off-kilter, irreverent and unbelievably addictive.
  5. Under The Radar

    There's not much originality on this record, and cliches abound, but... [it] is so full of energy that it demands a listen. [#5, p.106]
  6. They won't matter in a year, or even six-months...but for the time being, Ima Robot are an utterly entrancing and joyously frivolous antidote to those pre-winter blues.
