    Despite relying on too many tricks from the Daft Punk playbook, they prove there's more up their sleeve than just vocoders.

    It’s obvious, obnoxious and effective.

    Purporting to be brash and exciting, DIOFYY? offer up an album of decidedly non-offensive electro-pop. [Spring 2008, p.88]

    So this record's creative and artistic value is pretty much nil--in fact it only just hits competent.

    It may be brutally obvious, but it's brilliant - especially considering how wishy-washy the dance-rock crossover albums have been lately.

    I find it a rather enjoyable album. Good songs. Also doable for the adult audience - like me at 44. Try it out.

    This album isn't all that bad, but it stays on a noise trail that gets very annoying. I also think these guys need to look at their production. This album is way too loud the whole way through.… Expand

    There are a few decent tracks on here, but the annoying synth blasts and Daft Punk-esque repetition does nothing but piss me off. The electronic music scene is becoming tainted with artists who think they can just blast an electronic-guitar synth somewhere in a track and get acclaim. Music fans not familiar with recent electronic releases won't be as furious with this record as more experienced ones, that's to be expected. Oh, and that excerpt from the ever-so-horrible excuse for a magazine (aka Alternative Press) is one of the most ignorant things I've read this year. The Rapture sound nothing like this bit and their 2nd release (while not as amazing as Echoes) was acers better than this lot.… Expand
