    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.

    This album is awesome, a great one to play very loud. Some critics like to waste time writing about how Trans Am are a joke band, ironic, or whatever. Forget about all that, just stand in awe of the amazing drumming, fat buzzing electronics and general grand intensity of the whole thing. These rock insanely hard.

    This album takes a few listens, but it is more intelligent than most people.

    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 A highly recommended album and a good comeback for Trans Am, they show that they are not as superficial as they appear.

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

    [They] still fuse rock with techno with more nonchalant poise than nearly anybody else, but they've also crafted some of their most gorgeous tunes here. [Mar 2007, p.137]

    Easily their best album since 2000's Red Line.
