Now, for what it's worth, Dirty Vegas won't rob you of the gift of sight or make your ears bleed; it's just boring.
-
At worst, a couple of the songs sound like bad Oasis remixes--"All or Nothing" comes to mind--but the good stuff can get any club (or car) hopping.
-
As much as the vocals, however, the fault for Dirty Vegas lies with the unambitious production; Dirty Vegas make a crossover group like Underworld sound positively edgy in comparison.

Entertainment WeeklyThere's little with teeth on Dirty Vegas' snoozeworthy debut. [21 June 2002, p.84]
-
UrbFor the most part, Dirty Vegas play up the notoriety by not straying too far from the template set by "Days Gone By." [Jul 2002, p.98]
-
Pleasing, accessible, but ordinary and lacking depth.
-
BlenderAs likely to put you to sleep as influence your choice in cars. [#8, p.116]
-
Deeply anonymous.
-
When they're good, they're alright, but when they're bad, they're unstoppable and Dirty Vegas' biggest mistake so far is that, sometimes, they're not nearly filthy enough.
-
Dirty Vegas' earnest lyrics can get in the way, but they make up for that by rejecting the desultory repetition of much electro.
-
Q MagazineUnderstated and slightly surreal, this could be dance music's answer to Pink Floyd. [Aug 2002, p.122]
-
MixerThe boys are as competent on straightforward dance tracks as they are on Verve-esque pop-rock cuts. [Jul 2002, p.80]
