    Multicultural, cosmopolitan, intellectual dance music: Ibiza meets punk, dub goes tango, trance gets smart. [Oct 2006, p.95]

    They sounded great in the lounge; the garage suits them even better. [Oct 2006, p.130]

    Sophisticated as all this is, bits of it still flop, and other bits seem like they've gone overboard on the sophistication.

    Talk to La Bomb revisits nearly all the elements that made their 2005 self-titled debut such a thrill, but the songwriting has slipped a bit, welcoming the beloved act to the sophomore slump.

    This album makes me want to grab a popsicle and spend all afternoon dancing in the sunshine.

    This album is much messier and more dissonant than the first. The songs on the first album just fit together much better.
