ChristoCSep 14, 2006Some awesome songs, some mediocre songs. Echoes was amazing. This album is just good.

RifNOct 7, 2006Dont believe what you hear in the reviews. The sophomore effort by the Rapture is a lot more fun then Echoes. Yeah, i said fun. But when you are talking about dance-punk and the Rapture style, more fun= what you want= a better album then echoes= a damn solid album.

PatricioSep 13, 2006The best album of the year so far. They did it again. First Gear, The Devil and The Sound the highlights in an album that does not have weak points.

DanSep 13, 2006Lacks to sprawling rough punkness of Echoes, instead offering fine-tuned fade-in/fade-out individual songs. While I miss the unpredictability of Echoes, some of these tracks are just a blast to listen to. It's an album that definitely has it's missteps ("First Gear" "Callin Me") and its unmistakable hits ("Don Gon Do It" "WAYUH").

FrankSep 19, 2006Great album...more refined than Echoes, which had a harsh edge that worked perfectly for it, but they had to evolve somehow and this was a very satisfying way to do it.

ChrisSSep 27, 2006Funky raunchy electro meets Talking Heads... Far better than the last excursion... And it passes my favourite test... On first listen I loved it all! Hooks Funk Fun Ferocity... What else do you want?

inlimboSep 16, 2006anyone who talks crap about the DFA is not intelligent enough to comprehend the magnificence of Echoes and the sheerly ridiculous amount of energy to be found on Pieces of the People We Love. buy this album now, and prepare to dance uncontrollably for quite some time.

stevensDec 12, 2006one of the best albums ive heard in a while.... totally bored with the drivel that is churned out by the likes of james morrison, pussycat dolls, girls aloud and other pop acts... This album is really refreshing. (even though very different to their previous albums)

UrbThe first truly great album of the dance-punk movement. [Sep 2006, p.132]
-
Rolling StoneLots of cowbell, lots of bass. [21 Sep 2006, p.82]

The uniformity of the album is at the expense of clear-cut standout tracks.
