    "Rolling Blackouts" is a stellar collection of songs that range in their scope and drive. Standout moments include the guest appearances by Deerhoof front woman (Secretary Song) and Bethany from Best Coast (Buy Nothing Day).

    "Rolling Blackouts" is another original gem from The Go! Team. The true value of this recording is that they bravely cast their net to a vast potential audience by mashing myriad styles and yet still retain the focus to deliver some excellent songs.

    Guest vocalists save giddy, sampling sextet from "more of the same old" charges. [Feb. 2011, p. 97]

    Rolling Blackouts features less of lady rapper Ninja's double-dutch rhymes and a wrecking-ball brass attack, a welcome evolution that shifts the focus towards songcraft and away from the squealing sheets of instrumentation.

    If the Go! Team can make a record this much fun, with this much style and skill, with this many well-chosen collaborators, and with this many hit songs every couple years, by the time they are done we'll be voting them into the Brilliant Pop Hall of Fame.
