    Nice introduction from Karen O and Co. This indicated what was the come in the future, nice, often frantic, sometimes off the wall, Rock. If you like this band you'll like this EP and if you don't you won't.

    Art Star and Bang are the two gems on this album, but otherwise it's very inconsistent. They are a great live band, but I wonder how far the beer spraying, i'm so messed up attitude, can take them.

    Another excruciatingly annoying, over-hyped NYC band. And come on...the no-bass gimmick has already been used. This is pseudo-blues rock for the tone deaf.

    Fun and surprisingly catchy...can't wait to see what they do with a full-length CD.

    Wasn't into it much at first. KarenO sounds like Little Neil at times, but it grew on me. Especially Bang and Art Girl. Decent first attempt for this kind of band

    The EP barely hints at how great the band has become in the past year, especially since the sound quality is roughly at a firing-a-BB-gun-into-a-garbage-can level.

    This isn't a record, it's a portfolio: it's noisy but catchy, it lets them try out different styles, and it makes you give a good goddamn.

    Just when the bombast teases with sounding like nails on a chalkboard, the band turns things around to remain more cool than annoying.
