    Though repetition is part of its hammering appeal, things eventually begin to grey a bit as the record moves on, losing the punch of the pure blacks and neon reds of the first half. And though those spoken word samples that pepper the album do more obstructing than enhancing, there's no hampering Youth Code's intentions.

    Youth Code isn't a perfect album, but it is one hell of a first stab.

    It all sounds a bit like it should be the soundtrack to a chase scene in a '90s sci-fi film, but in a good way. [Aug-Sep 2013, p.102]

    Regrettably the record and the band follow a formula at the expense of song composition.
