    They're better at evoking turbulence than talking about it--efforts to cop '80s-pop vocals are overshadowed by the cascade and rumble of the instrumental long-players. [Apr 2005, p.102]

    Out Hud's shift to house-pop may not be the group 'coming into its own,' but it does throw aside the burden of influences that S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. had attached to it.

    It's unfortunate that the weedy vocals dilute some of its impact, otherwise this would be a triumph. [Apr 2005, p.89]

    The vocals by Phyllis Forbes are great. Isn't she the pretty one? I love "Old Nude", I wonder where they got that title.

    One of the best synthpop albums of this decade. better than junior boys or whatever other serious contenders you can think of... seems that the boys(and girls) of the !!!/outhud collective are some of the most interesting at play these days...… Expand
