  1. It's packed with ideas, some of which work beautifully and some of which are just a joy to hear play out, but most of all, it's still a whole other world of pop music--an absolutely unique, enchanting, and irreplaceable vision of how the stuff can work.

    What Max has created as a result is nothing short of amazing.
  3. Mannered English eccentricity never sounded so deliriously thrilling.
  4. He still dabbles in more-chin-stroking fare, but he's able to ground his adventures in enough melody to preserve the album's flow--and your bearings.
  5. The Wire

    His maniacal energy is infectious. [Nov 2008, p.77]
  6. On his third album, experimental electro sounds that initially seem grating and disparate weave together to form bona fide pop melodies.
  7. Ultimately, the listener must be contented with the reality that Parallax Error Beheads You is a record that truly speaks for itself.
