    Issues of assimilation aside, [sounding similar to Spoon] the songs are excellent. [May 2012, p.109]

    Their third album deepens the rockist intentions with a track called "Heavy Metal" and a sound that's like Spoon or Fountains of Wayne dipped in distracted keyboard/noise-guitar ooze.

    While captivatingly evil at points, the absence of the hooks that made It's Frightening so exceptional can make Milk Famous a difficult match.

    Milk Famous falters by creating an Uncanny Valley effect by adopting the most easily replicable aspects [of Spoon's sound] without maintaining any sort of human element or offering anything that's identifiable as their own.

    The Kasabian-ish 'Danny Come Inside', with its predatory stride, and the tautly atmospheric 'Had It Coming' are rallying gear shifts; disappointingly, the remainder of 'Milk Famous' seems to be on cruise control.

I was a big fan of White Rabbits first two albums, but this one is definitely different. To me their movement is similar to how Radiohead's music matured. From the fun rock to a spacier endeavour of ambient noises, which I think they pulled off wonderfully, but at the same time not as complex as Radiohead songs. They are surely on a fun path musically and if they continue in this direction, they are going to gain a lot more attention.… Full Review »

    I only listened to this album because of a debate I was having with a DJ about whether White Rabbits were an electronica band.Hmmm I said,I only listened to this album because of a debate I was having with a DJ about whether White Rabbits were an electronica band.Hmmm I said, pretty darn good, think I'll see them live.Yes,that answered the question,not an electeronica band but a darn good one! What a happy outcome from a debate.I hear them having fun and embellishing their sound with textures, to me they are more akin to Radiohead than Spoon.I am glad to read that another reviewer mentioned this. Anyway a solid album full of good stuff.… Full Review »
