    Fourteen songs deep, each and every one is a terrific slice of electronic pop that definitely delivers astounding results.

    What you get here is more of the same star-crossed rave-pop.

    Highly listenable bangers like Tapes & Money, Garden and American Dream Part II make Trouble ideal for bouncing around your bedroom or the club.

    This is the album Morrissey could have made if he'd been treated to MDMA and burgers.

    This sparkling, streamlined display adds up to great headphone candy, but ultimately it's a record made for booming club speakers.

    An outstanding debut album that's been a long time coming.

    Trouble is an album of bewitching treasures, equally at home in the bedroom or in the throes of the most intense club dance floor--an extremely impressive debut that introduces TEED as one of the UK's premier electronic artists.

    Expertly tweaked synths sit on a bed of complex beats mixing house and techno with subtle nods to sundry other genres.

    TEED's approach to dance-pop, much like Goddard's main act, sounds especially everyguy. The project's live show provides plenty of evidence that the stuff pleases crowds, but you get the feeling that he's doing this for himself more than anyone else.

    He's added emotional depth to the popular DJ scene, and in doing so, finds its heart.

    This is pretty simple club music solely about the 'now' of dancing. And that can only be a good thing.

    There are 14 tracks in total and three fewer would have made for a tighter set--but it's hardly a deal breaker. [Jul 2012, p.112]

    For the most part... enthusiasm and influences are not matched by the songwriting.
