    Here is my review of the ATP,

    ATP have got to be one of the worst bands I’ve come across. Their new song Buttons” sounds like they left a microphone in the room of a tesla coil experiment. It makes me sick, as an avid music enthusiast that there are bands like this out there who are also in profit.

    ATP have got to be one of the worst bands I’ve come across. Their new song Buttons” sounds like they left a microphone in the room of a tesla coil experiment. It makes me sick, as an avid music enthusiast that there are bands like this out there who are also in profit. I can’t believe these are touring to Australia, anyone that is senseless enough to buy a ticket to see them is a victim of a scam.

    It’s a good this that they aren’t not very well known. I would suggest that they quit while they are behind, before they fall further behind. I applaud them for trying to create something new, but at the same time, I despise ****ing bands that do this and then become self-proclaimed heroes afterwards.

    All in all, “All Tomorrow’s Parties” will leave all today’s listeners with a headache.    … Collapse

    Fuck Buttons’ third album--a synthesis of noise, hip-hop, drone and shoegaze--is basically avant-garde weightlifting music, forgoing heart and brains in hopes that brute force alone will elevate it to heaven. Occasionally, it does.

    Beyond constructing music marked by a consummate sense of craftsmanship, Fuck Buttons continue to toy with notions of what an album should be, a natural progression for a band whose only defining quality is their refusal to settle on a definitive sound.

    Slow Focus is a tremendously gifted album; one that remarks on what electronic music is still capable of, while knowingly realizing that the sky’s the limit.
