The most wildly inventive, exploratory, unafraid, surprising, nonsensical, and flat out funkiest single Ive heard all year.
-
Entertainment WeeklyIt's a funky spin on the dance-punk of late-'70s/early-'80s acts like Gang of Four. [6 Jun 2003, p.78]
-
[A] nine-minute sprawling, shifting and landing tidal wave.
-
While the Rapture and to a lesser extent Radio 4 made off with all the headlines, !!! was making the best music of all the retro-punk-disco dancers.
-
Leading with a ten-minute single this outrageously creative, informed and exciting, !!! have a lot to prove on their coming full-length.
-
Easily the crowning achievement of their short lifespan thus far.
-
Does little to sully their reputation as one of the "great white hopes" of the indie dance nation.
-
Alternative PressThe A-side sports some significant drive and heft. [Jul 2003, p.122]
-
!!! fuses the Tom Tom Clubs frivolous white-boy syncopation with ESGs polyrhythmic propulsion to make your brain feel informed while your feet work very hard to embarrass you.
-
Like so many great singles of the past, this is the sound of a good band getting great. Don't miss the moment.
-
So New York. So everything. So new. But yet, so much like the hippies saying, "Man, if we could only get Nixon to smoke pot, then we'd have world peace, man."
