  • Summary: This Brazilian dance-rock outfit may be "Tired Of Being Sexy," but that didn't stop Sub Pop from making them the first South American addition to its roster. This is their debut.

    CSS's music is almost immediately infectious and surprisingly poppy.

    Quite an impressive start. [Aug 2006, p.206]

    If it weren't all so much fun, CSS would be really objectionable. But if it wasn't so objectionable, it certainly wouldn't be this much fun.

    They're not the kind of band that ages well... [but] one hot summer is all they need. [Aug 2006, p.107]

    Cansei De Ser Sexy is an intriguing group with a lot of budding talent and real potential.
  6. Observer Music Monthly
    60
    It's often quite wonderful, occasionally pretty woeful, but endearingly frantic and chaotic.
  7. Delusions of Adequacy
    30
    Cansei de Ser Sexy is just so acutely gaudy and trashy that, despite an abundance of spunk and sneer, it comes off as disaffected and impossibly irritating.

    What LCD Soundsystem did for me last year, CSS does today. I can dance like a fool without sacrificing brain cells.
