    She's in Control is dirty late-night fun simply because it has fun.

    Were its hooks not as strong, She's in Control would probably come across as mechanical and calculated, but its many bright spots elevate it above being just a shrewdly timed exercise in cultural re-appropriation.

    Draws intelligently on its sources, revealing itself as more than mere pastiche. [Nov 2004, p.108]

    These blow-dried disco numbers are unmistakably well-toned. [18 Sep 2004, p.65]

    These '80s-trash connoisseurs have everything electroclash lacks: full-bodied grooves, self-deprecating idiot grins, and--what's best--sax solos. [20 Feb 2004, p.66]

    The album is just disappointing: full of slick beats of undisguised artifice and lacking the one thing all good slow jams need – namely, great vocals.

    The best ’80s-revival funk made by white Canadian hip-hop kids since, like, ever.

    Sure, it's nothing that hasn't been done before.... Still, there's no denying that She's In Control is one helluva bad-ass, booty-shakin', funky-fresh party record.
  10. Planet

    Much more than the sum of its pastiche. [#6, p.86]
