    A brave, commanding, astonishing LP that shatters all notions of what modern rock music can, or for that matter, should be.
  2. Alternative Press

    It's category-defying: raw and cooked, muscular and cerebral, shifting gears in seconds flat. [Apr 2003, p.70]

    Aereogramme combines abrasive guitars, feedback, and distorted vocals into rock that, in its own way, is as crunchy and dynamic as Weezer, though as decidedly outsider as Mogwai.
  4. Mojo

    Occasionally... there's a sense of things being too studied, the brain doing the work of the heart. [May 2003, p.106]

    A great album. Not perfect, but the range & depth of it exceed anything else I've heard in a long time.
