    This is music to celebrate life with and to joyously fashion because it's certainly amazing.

    Five albums along and Hot Chip continue to outdo themselves, not to mention most of their peers. [Jul 2012, p.111]

    It's hard to paint this as anything other than what it is: a professional-sounding album of radio-friendly pop. It's as bad as that sounds.

    This is an incredible album from Hot Chip, rivaling their defining album "Made in the Dark." It's smooth, dancey, and utterly heartfelt. I can't recommend it enough.… Expand

    Hot Chip's new album In Our Heads is, if i could sum it up with one word - INFECTIOUS! :)) The band is definitely having their Scissor Sister's Night Work moment. The album has some of the most queer, hilarious, energetic electro-funk I have ever had the pleasure of hearing! It's alt-dance bliss in places! In Our Heads is brilliantly cohesive as well, and is by far the bands first album I can listen to straight through over and over again. If you have heard anything by this band and liked it - GET THIS ALBUM NOW!!! (8 out of 10) Key Tracks: Motion Sickness, Don't Deny Your Heart, These Chains, Night & Day, Flutes, Let Me Be Him… Expand

    Hot Chip's fifth album proves the band as the generators of a massified -but intelligent- electro-pop (often kind ethereal). Always making new statements in each album, this one lacks a bit of an original feeling throughout it, and the 80's aura sounds cheeky. But, then again, it's a solid dance album as much as a powerballad one. The improvement was essentially in the songwriting, now more elegant than ever. Next one, I hope it feels more raw, free and one of a kind.… Expand
