They might not have the lyrical substance necessary to be the new Manics, but Gay Dad's unpretentious take on modern glam makes snorting coke while wearing striped hot-pants and sprinkling stardust on passers by sound like a hell of a lot of fun.

Entertainment WeeklyGlam-Bowie reinventions, culminating midway in the pop-rock nuggetry of "Plane Going Down" before crashing to earth. [3 May 2002, p.88]
-
Alternative PressBreezy, flashy, and fun, but emotionally bereft as well. [Jul 2002, p.81]

Transmission, while marginally stronger than the band's debut, forgets to bring along the same natural pop drive and offers more of the same well-honed faux iconic babble, and regularly stoops to the equivalent of a Love record with improper squelch control.

BlenderMore Bon Jovi than Blur, bloated with stadium-friendly power ballads. [Jun/Jul 2002, p.106]
