    Red may only be a fleetingly satisfying confection, but maybe that was the plan all along.

    Red was probably meant to run rings around listeners while the duo wore the Cheshire’s cat grin beneath their pokerfaces. Unfortunately it doesn’t really make the cut.

    It's pastiche, certainly, but of a pleasingly arresting kind. [Jul 2009, p.118]

    The biggest problem with Red is that as obvious as Datarock's aesthetic is, it's still boring, and it doesn't stick to the tracks at all.
