  • Summary: Victor Van Vugt produced this long-awaited full-length debut for the Austin, Texas group, who previously generated some buzz with a series of EPs.

  1. Positive: 9 out of 14
  2. Negative: 0 out of 14
  1. [An] enjoyable, if slightly inconsistent, album.
  2. If Voxtrot seems less magical the first time through, it grows in stature with each listen, as an album should.
  3. Voxtrot’s self-titled debut album is marvelous: a collection of 11 tightly coiled songs, loud and fast and sweet.
  4. While those EPs were the energetic documents of a hungry band at a creative peak, [this album] too often seems to fall flat. [#17, p.88]

    I'm so tired of every single reviewer saying "This isn't nearly as good as their EPs..." Did you read that in Rolling Stone, so you all feel the need to post it over, and over, and over again? Everyone is saying these songs aren't as catchy. Did you think that maybe that is because they aren't quite as shallow?? The depth of this album became apparent to me around the 3rd or 4th time through. Listen to the cd in it's entirety, beginning to end. It becomes even better with each listen, as a really great album does. We should all be thanking Voxtrot for an album that isn't "catchy". If you want catchy, go buy Gym Class Heroes. This is real music. Expand

    No one should rate this album unless they've listened to it more than 5 times. It takes awhile to get used to but now I can't stop listening. See Voxtrot live if you can. Expand
  3. Yep this album is perfect and I'm depressed because it's 2013 and they're gone. Hmmm. now The only question left 2 ask is............................Why Expand

    Completely agree with Matt A. This is sadly nowhere near as great as their first two EPs - Raised by Wolves and Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives. Granted, it is still fairly decent.. but the magic is gone. Expand
