    The group still moves within the same sphere as LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture, but if you're not fed up with indie-electronic-dance-rock just yet, !!! is still among the best in the hybrid genre.

    Brief though it is, 'Strange Weather, Isn't It?' represents a remarkable sharpening of focus at a time of flux - and possibly crisis - for the band.

    This time !!! remembered to bring the party, but they forgot the favors that fans have come to expect--grooves that make the body explode into dance spasms. [Summer 2010, p.76]

    I must be getting old, but I am finding most of the critics out of touch with what I find great this year. Strange Weather is tyher case in point: Is it as fresh as their earlier works?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Much more assured of what they are, !!! bring us the best pop action in ages. By the corrosive dance rock of "The Hammer" to the lo-fi rap of "Hollow", Strange Weather, Isn´t it? came out on the right place at the right time.… Expand

    A tedious minimal-electro-pop record delivered by this Sacramento Ca. band, that helps as a shopping, or elevator background music. It just causes the boring reaction, because of its way, using almost the same regular tempo while trying to make a tribute to the disco, electro & funk records. Beware of the singer who tries to be "sexy" and stylish, 7 people on his band and no one stoped him? A perfect gift for your friend the clothes store clerk... a burned copy of course.… Expand
