    I don't see how the user reviews are so polarized here. To me this album is extremely middle of the road. It sometimes develops cool loops and hooks, but does nothing but repeat them relentlessly. The album just goes nowhere. What happened here? It's surprising because the band puts out such wonderful remixes.

    Sweaty and thick, convincingly urgent and highly sexual. [Jul 2006, p.210]

    True, there's a pop sensibility at work here that betrays their band roots, but that's exactly what makes this the kind of dance album you can actually listen to from beginning to end.

    Keeler succeeds in meticulously reconstructing the electronic music he clearly has a taste for, but without stirring in any of his own personality the songs do little more than run in place, joylessly hitting the marks without changing the rules in any meaningful or attention-grabbing way.
