    Simply awesome.
  2. The A.V. Club
    100
    An album that sets the bar for density and imagination almost unreasonably high.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    A naggingly problematic record, with a void at its heart that no amount of cool celebrity mates can quite conceal.

    "Good Luck" is a great Jaxx track.. beyond that, it seems the band is more interested in seeing how much they can jam into each track with no regard for hook or melody.
