  1. Both infectiously danceable and highly intelligent.
  2. Their zeal is such that, for the most part, we can overlook their failure to be flawless.

    Too often we get ill-fated experiments in electronic circa 1997 and overly polished replications of their biggest hit to date, "Electrify." [Sep 2004, p.116]
  4. Shiny, soulless dance tracks that would have been mediocre even as Rick Astley backing tracks.

    Ironic now that post-9/11 political protest is in full swing Radio 4 make their most passive and soul-less record to date. You only hope that live they can salvage some of the magic displayed on 2001's 'Gotham!' Expand

    The worst record I have hear din years. I wanted to turn it off after the second song, but kept it in hoping to find any redeeming value in this. I want an hour of my life back, please. Expand
