84What we have here is a long-awaited stepchild of IDM and hair metal sensibilities, joined by the omnivorous appetite of hip-hop.
-
The band's sound is both fresh and nostalgic, and so pretty that it seems overly harsh to criticize them too much at this point. It's just that Ratatat is good enough to suggest that, with a little more diversity, the group could do even better things.
-
The lack of highs and lows in each song gives the album a repetitive and anti-climactic feel. [#7]

davidr.10Nice. So I guess it's 2006 and that's all we're getting from Ratatat.
