Alternative PressIf Ian Curtis had stuck around for Zoloft and Hot Hot Heat, Joy Division's Closer might've sounded a lot like this album. [Dec 2004, p.158]
-
Q MagazinePunk funk can be a prickly thing, but they never overdo the art-rocking, always placing the emphasis on melody. [Feb 2005, p.101]
-
The album's flat production values eventually dull the rhythm section's choppy bite.
-
Dangerous Dreams is a passable album that never achieves greatness, nor does it fail miserably, rather residing with the mundane.
-
New Musical Express (NME)It's not so much that [they] sound a bit like The Rapture so much as, occasionally, they seem to be running off Xerox copies of specific Rapture songs. [29 Jan 2005, p.58]
-
Dangerous Dreams is plagued by a pervasive feeling of been there/done that, and the album ultimately sounds like the same two or three tracks on repeat.
-
Dangerous Dreams is just such a mixed-bag of goods that it's hard to feel much about it other than a couple of standouts.
-
A case of too little, too late, nothing on Moving Units' full-length debut Dangerous Dreams does anything to disprove the feeling that the dance-punk scene is at best overcrowded and at worst approaching rigor mortis any day now.
-
UncutWithout DFA tricknology to enliven their mix, they struggle with monotony over the course of an album. [Mar 2005, p.94]
-
If you’re a fan of the genre, don’t bother with Dangerous Dreams unless you’ve absolutely exhausted your current dance records.
-
Dangerous Dreams' late arrival was nearly enough to doom it to obscurity, but the disc's lack of new ideas puts the final nail in the coffin.
-
Dangerous Dreams is either an homage to an homage or a flimsy extension of a fading movement; regardless, its been-there, done-that mediocrity is ultimately what defines it best.
