    Ultimately, this is what more bands should be striving to achieve: to thrill us, inspire us and confuse us - often all at the same time; to utiliize technology for the betterment of the whole rather than for technologies sake; and to allow multiple talents to merge and shine without a sense of the intrusion of personal ego.

    Walking a fine line between being leftfield and hook-laden, Jaga Jazzist have delivered another selection of epic, psychedelic sojourns through electronics, brass and beats that consistently engage and excite.

    One-Armed Bandit dazzles early on... Later portions of the album are larded with so many graceless, attention-deficit hazards that it's unknown exactly what the band (or is that "groop"?) was attempting to accomplish.
