UncutOne of the most adrenalising albums you'll hear this year. [Sep 2002, p.110]
-
Mixing the grit that was The Stooges with the bounce that was Gang of Four, Liars and their debut release are everything that should be praised about Brooklyn's music scene.
-
A ramshackle, art-damaged mess, but it's also one of the most bone-rattlingly ferocious records you'll hear all year.
-
Nailed to the dancefloor by Flea-like bassist Pat Nature, and dragged up to date by hip-hop beats and random electronica, musically Liars are taut as a tightrope.
-
MojoHumour saves the Liars. [Sep 2002, p.110]
-
While their found object gimmickry is a novel enough enticement, the Liars' solid stop/start rhythm section is what keeps the junkyard noise spastically danceable.
-
It's grating and electrifying in equal measure.

May 20, 2022A bit too long at some parts this record still manages to impress with it's creativity! A much needed pulse to indie overstuffed corpse.
