    A considerable advance on predecessor 604.... This is sublime, subtle, subversive stuff. [Dec 2002, p.150]

    Ladytron's doom-laden arrangements feel as accomplished as Radiohead jamming with the Pet Shop Boys. [#10, p.120]

    Only problem is, though, Ladytron still sound too self-consciously detached and robotic for us to view this as a great leap forward.
