  • Summary: This is the debut album for the three-piece formed in Berlin.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 1 out of 6
  2. Negative: 1 out of 6
  1. The album's strength really, is evoking so strongly the excessive, lonely culture that the music comes from.
  2. A serviceable debut, it has some interesting ideas, though it won’t change the game.
  3. Play Music is a good idea poorly executed.
  4. These Thieves do often come off as just another trendy outfit hawking tawdry 20-year time warps, albeit with more streamlined sonics than many.

    This may be some kind of dance music but Play Music is sadly no fun. [Jul 2009, p.133]
  6. Thieves Like Us look and sound like three yuppies trying out the music lark after being laid off by an investment banking firm.
