    One of the greatest albums I've heard this year.There are three not so good songs on the album and they are numbers 2,4 and 6.The rest are some of the catchiest,most rythmic songs I've ever heard.Do yourself a favour and get this album or even just listen to it somewhere,I promise you it's worth it.

    It could be much better if they worked more.

    I have lately discovered this band and what I have to say is that everything in this album is in place. Songs are catchy, voice is fine, guitar solos, piano parts, electronic stuff etc, etc. Opening "Too Fake" really introduces you into the dance-hip-hop-rock-n-roll style of the album. Later the songs are kept in the same climate but they aren't boring in any way. Everyone has gotI have lately discovered this band and what I have to say is that everything in this album is in place.

Later the songs are kept in the same climate but they aren't boring in any way. Everyone has got something special, and I can see sth good about every song, even those, that I'm not crazy about like "Work". Myself I really like the way the lyrics are somehow rapped along the guitars where also a lot of pressure is put on the bass. Album ends with slow "Everyone's The Same Age" which is for sure the best closer I've ever heard. Really worth trying.… Expand

    When they stretch out, they get intriguing, if mixed, results.

    They do little to advance on the template, but at their best they produce some thrilling pop music, and while failing to create a consistently brilliant album

    Hockey are not yet the finished article and are still finding their sound, but judging from Mind Chaos they're having a bloody laugh looking for it.
