    Hey critics take it easy on the Teenagers. This album deserves an 8 for "Homecoming" alone.

    It contains six potential singles. Fresh and funny!

    Maybe I liked their frankly fantastic remixes better, and it is definitely not the most varied album in the world, but it is nevertheless a lot more fun to listen to than a lot of the records the critics will be rating this year.

    Even though the formula is a winning one (and sounds pretty thrilling in small doses), by the end of the album you feel like you were listening to one really long song.

    The reasons we love the Parisians-by-way-of-London rockers are only partially for their adolescent kitsch and filth. [Winter 2008, p.97]

    Reality Check stands as a fun, frank and startlingly perceptive debut that surprises for all the right reasons.
