    Sex Change channels all of your Jan Hammer and Harold Faltermeyer dreams into dystopian perfection. [#24, p.92]

    Sex Change continues their move away from arena bombast towards streamlined Euro grooves. [Mar 2007, p.103]

    Sparse, directionless and half-formed, Trans AM's eighth LP is nowhere near the radical transformation its title suggests.

    All of their albums were pretty good but this is simply great. These guys know how to make good music. 4738 degrees- the song of the year!!!

    Pretty good stuff that goes from full on electronics to banging out rockin' guitars.

    A highly recommended album and a good comeback for Trans Am, they show that they are not as superficial as they appear. With a sleazy title such as sex change you would think of an album with less depth. But this is a smart record, think of it as techno music with real instruments. Would be great to smoke to, album is real druggy and it doesn't try to be anything more (which is a good thing). Trans Am knows their audience and have created an album that is focused and refreshing,… Expand
