-
An uneven but promising debut album that suggests that the group may still create something distinctive.
-
VHS or BETA have moved on, like so many bands this year, to pillaging the dance-friendly template of late-80s Cure.
-
Night on Fire is going to need a gifted remixer to transform it into the dance-floor-packer it aspires to be.
-
Alternative PressClogging their previously supple grooves with banal guitar bluster and noxious singing, VHS Or Beta don't set the Night On Fire; they just dampen your spirits. [Oct 2004, p.148]
-
The '80s idolatry is far too forced and distracting, and VHS or Beta comes off as trying too hard to imitate admittedly great, but definitely dated, pop music.
