May 16, 2012Mr. Impossible [is] a record that shows a band evolving, as it embraces full-on melodicism with a cheeky goofball spirit.
-
Apr 23, 2012The result is album of beats and grooves, alternately plodding and engaging, punctuated by the occasional bursts of Black Dice's signature sonic playfulness.
-
Apr 16, 2012Though Mr. Impossible is their most accessible work to date, it's still unmistakably Black Dice.
-
Apr 13, 2012On the evidence of Mr. Impossible, they still sound like no one else and they're still thinking hard about music and texture. When you're craving something trashy and tripped-out in this very particular way, they still deliver the properly damaged goods.
-
Apr 13, 2012Always challenging, never compromising, Black Dice prove why it's the most thrilling noise band around.
-
Apr 12, 2012Black Dice maintain the high experimental standards that made their other records cult favorites, and manage to present their spectrum of squelches in a more focused way than usual, without sacrificing playfulness.
-
Apr 10, 2012Mr. Impossible feels both inquisitive and hermetic, half closed off to the outside world, half chasing noise and patterns to their logical conclusion.
-
Apr 10, 2012Mr. Impossible accomplishes the improbable: being more accessible and more alienating at the same time.
-
Apr 10, 2012For those interested in zany experimentalism, Black Dice's latest is a welcome addition to a long line of solid releases, but for those who have never been awed by this brand of cacophony, Mr. Impossible offers little besides noise.
-
Apr 10, 2012Imbued with a rupturing rave-punk sensibility.
-
Apr 9, 2012There's strange stuff here even by the none-stranger Black Dice's standards. But again it's more purposeful and propulsive than that appearing on their previous albums.
