    Fun, cohesive effort from a band who's worked their asses off to deliver great, energetic music to their loyal fans for years. EXTREMELY underrated dance-rock group that deserves the success they found with their first two singles.

    This band is pure genius. Critics hate them because they know the band are having LOADS of fun and satisfy a fanbase who don't give two bananas about stuffy/lazy reviews.

    Either you get this band or you don't. The "professional critics" obviously don't. This is a rock soild album with only a few fillers (egyptian cowboy, steal your bones, and you're bored). Listen to it twice, you'll be hooked. How are these guys not more famous? America's taste is full of fail.

  1. This darker, heavier tone makes the majority of Kill less of a party than "Fire" or "I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me from Being the Master," but splendidly, Dance Commander rears his head to make demands like "Shake that tambourine/Shake that shaking machine!" in 'Egyptian Cowboy' and encourages mass consumption in the splendid 'Body Shot,' which devolves from a grunge-disco jam into a wonderful, dubbed-out frenzy.
  2. While the album lacks a certain degree of accessibility and thematic coherence, Electric Six's wiseass humor and, moreover, their superior technical skill make Kill an energetic, frenzied party of a record.

    E6 can't quite keep it up throughout, though they still sound delighted to mess with sounds both full-throttle ('You're Bored') and loungey ('My Idea of Fun').
