    Nearly every tune sports a hummable melody--many of them sublime--which makes this album one of the more accessible entries in Deerhoof's willfully strange catalog.
  2. The A.V. Club
    91
    Nearly all the songs on Offend Maggie find different ways to achieve a surprisingly full, evocative union of Deerhoof's pop sense and experimental whims.
  3. Spin
    60
    The inspired moments of sunny pop and weirdo noise seem effortless, but so does all the aimless jamming.

    Though it lacks the punch of The Runners Four, Offend Maggie is every bit as good. Despite the relatively simple instrumentation, this is the band's most compositionally complex album. Songs such as "Buck and Judy," "Eaguru Guru," and "Jagged Fruit" showcase this wonderfully. The music is deceptively brainy, so there's a lot to appreciate other than the usual swarm of almost unfairly catchy melodies and riotous rocking. The fact that Deerhoof is still improving this late in their career speaks to their level of talent and creativity. One of the band's best efforts, Offend Maggie manages to be equal parts fun and fascinating.… Expand
