zingzingzingzingOct 14, 2005One 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...

benmSep 12, 2005lyrics take some getting used to but have grown on me. extremely danceable and catchy in a balls-out wacky kinda way. parts are rather forgettable but it's ok you will need a rest.

AsahiK.Aug 21, 2005Nice dancerock, better than !!! or the LCD Soundsystem, more melodious and glitchy at once.

DoolyoNApr 20, 2005The vocals by Phyllis Forbes are great. Isn't she the pretty one? I love "Old Nude", I wonder where they got that title.

EliLMar 31, 2005Albums like this help form the much-needed bridge from dance music's ten year run to the more modern funked-up rock sound. Ravers are like an STD.

BillyBobMar 30, 2005Artful, funky pop and no-wave disco. An interesting change of direction, stripping out the post-rock progressiveness but none of the innovation. I like it!

RussellSMar 26, 2005If new Order were 20 years younger and liked chicks more than ecstasy you might get something more akin to this punkateria dance pit. Throbbing, reveling, innocent, intentional, and almost necessary make repeated listening essential. It does pays dividends though.

RavingLunaticMar 22, 2005I've listened to this album several times. There are some very good songs, mostly the longer ones, but I'm baffled as to why they would include some very weak vocals that detract from the album immeasurably. Other than that though, a solid album, but not as good as STREET DAD because of the vocals.

LeonardoFMar 22, 2005Some of the songs (especially the ones with vocals), sound like a tired Tom Tom Club.

Rolling StoneIt's insular stuff, but because they think like hipster Stockhausens and always keep things moving, Out Hud's indie disco is exciting where Tortoise's indie jazz was merely annoying. [24 Mar 2005, p.79]

Out Hud’s new-found pop smarts leave you hoping that they’ll drop the instrumentals and devote a whole album to songs.

If you want to dance, then Out Hud are your outfit of choice.
