DanSMar 5, 2007Superb album! I have trouble getting into the song "Sweet Life" (triggers unfortunate memories of Sublime at times), but other than that, there's not a loser in the bunch. A very pleasent surprise to jumpstart 2007.

MungoJMar 8, 2007Kill the lyrics and you may have something. It seems like they've moved "forward" in an attempt to improve their songwriting but in doing so have ended up sounding like everything else. Bring back the long jams!

WestonT.Jun 4, 2007Frenetic and artsy in a field of recent frenetic, artsy albums; (Of Montreal, Panda Bear, -insert recent indie album here-) at the very least, you can dance to it. !!! got me grooving a little more than the others with their darker sound and vocals that, while they tend to be, well, "chanty," brought back memories of Shriekback. In a good away.

GillyDMar 15, 2007Yes!Yes!Yes! Very good album. When u think u have the music sussed they throw in some surprises. Heart of Hearts, New Name and Break in Case of Anything are standout tracks, tho their stint supporting the Chillis have influenced Sweet Life mibbees?

JohnnySMar 12, 2007It's alright, but I think their drum machine's broken- their songs are all the same tempo

MATTOMar 14, 2007Disappointing. Bad lyrics. Boring.

IanRMar 25, 2007Irresistible grooves and a more balanced attack make Myth Takes the best !!! album to date. While it may not reach the heights of songs such as "Me And Giuliani Down by the School Yard" or "Pardon My Freedom", Myth Takes is consistently good to great. "Must Be the Moon" has the funkiest outro in ages. Their live show is not to be missed.

Apr 2, 2011Myth Takes is a strange wonderful art album. It blends psychedelic rock with dance-rock so perfectly well together. The stand out track is easily "Must Be The Moon". Each track sounds more different than the one before it. All In All, Chk Chk Chk have crafted a strange album that blends psychedelic and punk rock perfectly. B+

May 30, 2013Funky album. Myth Takes, All My Heroes Are Weirdos, Must Be the Moon, Heart of Hearts, Yadnus, and Bend Over Beethoven were excellent songs. deserves to be big.

Jan 14, 2017In a world with no jazz, this would be the American Jamiroquai (or any other good band from the acid jazz movement in the early 90s).
Drawing influences from rock, pop, general alternative and electronic music, but always sounding as **** as hell.
Memorable album by a great band - probably their best.
Awards & Rankings
-
Much like their debut, it'll take a few listens to be pulled towards Myth Takes by the force operates at its core.
-
There are moments when they seem to lose sight of what it is exactly that makes them so interesting to begin with, writing songs that seem stuck halfway between dance and conventional indie rock.
-
The major stumbling blocks of !!!'s shtick still pertain.
