FilterBizarre and punkish and freakish and good. [#5, p.91]
-
Alternative PressHas the abrupt, spasmodic intensity of an epileptic seizure. [June 2003, p.94]
-
For all the sludge and fuzz on the album, Do Rabbits Wonder? never becomes muddy; the grit and gristle of Whirlwind Heat's abrasive repertoire of sounds remains clearly defined even at its most crazed.
-
MojoDespite being accessible like an electricity pylon, this trio of art-punk hysterics are as righteous as they are ridiculous. [Jul 2003, p.108]
-
The result is indeed a whirlwind -- the kinetic rush of vintage punk minus the self-conscious nostalgia, the discipline of pop songcraft with, thankfully, no sugar added.
-
SpinThe Heat pay homage to punky Midwest weirdos from Devo to Brainiac over grimy fuzz bass. [May 2003, p.116]
-
Q MagazineIt's not all bad, though, as the album possesses a killer repertoire of filthy bass lines and an undeniable pedal-to-the-metal verve. [Aug 2003, p.116]
-
UncutIt's an abrasive sound. [Aug 2003, p.99]
-
Entertainment WeeklyHeat can't find a melody to save their Moog. [18 Apr 2003, p.70]
-
While the album's bouts of strangulated sexuality are initially stirring, this lack of melody eventually dooms Do Rabbits Wonder? to wallow in a torpid swamp of half-formed ideas and analog squall.
-
Despite the band’s annoying lyrics, their beats can be catchy and they have a kick-ass bass player.
-
BlenderGive Whirlwind Heat this: The first time out, they've managed to sound exactly like the worst bands downtown New York coughed up in 1982. [May 2003, p.125]
-
It's mind-boggling that such sloppily arranged, barely listenable stuff is getting this kind of attention, but that's celebrity for you.
