    A near perfect record that will have The Rapture,!!!, and every other dance punk band looking over their collective shoulders.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    90
    It’s all over the place, yet perfectly fresh and maligned.
  3. Blender

    Perspiration trumps inspiration, as madly sawing strings and short-circuiting robot bleeps compensate for the lack of hooks. [Oct 2004, p.120]
