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

    Their jokes and concepts and imitations have sunk into their bones and become tools for them to make some of the best music of the year thus far.

    Trans Am's best album to date. [#16, p.94]

    It is a lot of fun, brilliantly produced and is the perfect winter soundtrack to plans for a summer road-trip.

    If you're a fan of the group through thick and thin, there will definitely be enough to love here. If you want to know the best place to start with Trans Am, that place is still Futureworld.

    Sex Change is uneven from song to song, but name a Trans Am record that isn't. What's something here is the smoothness with which the record evens out as a whole.
  7. New Musical Express (NME)
    30
    Sparse, directionless and half-formed, Trans AM's eighth LP is nowhere near the radical transformation its title suggests.

    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 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.… Expand

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