I'm a bubble in a sound wave A sonic push for energy Exploding like the sun A flash of clean light hope All you scientists can hold your breath Can I... | See the rest of the song lyrics |

-
Sleater-Kinney... go for defiant uplift and seem energized by the challenge.
-
An uncompromising, energetic monster of a record.
-
One Beat joins the likes of Fugazi's In On the Killtaker and Bikini Kill's Reject All American for its impassioned new-world resistance, and could very well be the greatest triumph of punk independence since Black Flag.
-
The group sometimes sacrifices immediacy for angular melodies and riffs that dont catch hold. On balance, though, One Beats musical progression is still extremely impressive.
-
Their riotous manifesto remains the same, but their musical dialect has expanded to include blues, soul and even traces of pristine Led Zeppelin-era metal.
-
One Beat is ruthless with SuperGlue riffs that reach back a decade or more, from the Go-Gos pogo of "Oh!" to the stuttering Cure guitars of "The Remainder" to the Buzzcocks toolings of "Hollywood Ending."
-
Sleater-Kinneys weakest album in years.
