  1. Finally we've reached a tipping point resembling the riot grrrl moment of the early '90s, one in which every feisty hip-hop soprano has a you-go-illygirl edge on her notebook-toting male competitors.

    It may have taken three years for Go! Pop! Bang! to see the light, but fortunately, in Rye Rye's case, she has only gotten better with age.

    The Baltimore-style synthesizer jabs are less of a novelty, though they still pump up the songs.

    Warmth and color fill most of the deluxe edition's (admittedly bloated) 60 minutes, an assortment of bubbly beats forming in gleeful, block party-ready disarray.

    There's a confidence about the performances on the album that make Go! Pop! Bang! a debut full of enthusiasm and promise that will hopefully ring in the beginning of a bright new talent.

    There's [not that] much heavy lifting to do: Go! Pop! Bang! is clattery electro hop.

    At times it feels like she's stuck in one gear, but her energy refreshingly and irresistibly recalls the un-cynical era of old-school breakbeat and hip-house.

    Go! Pop! Bang! is a fun album, even when it's suffering from the too many cooks syndrome. I just hope Rye Rye asserts more control over her next release.

    On Sunshine and a handful of others, she's M.I.A. protege in Kala mode; elsewhere, she's been "optimized" for a climate more partial to Nicki Minaj. [Jun 2012, p.84]

Ela é uma das cantoras que deveriam fazer mais sucesso do que outras por aí. O álbum é resumido em um rap bem dançante, e vários featurings com a M.I.A., que por sinal, são as melhores músicas.

This type of dirtyThis album is very good better than I expected this is a great dance hip hop album. This album delivers what it suppose to. This type of dirty hip hop electro music is intended for club and parties. I give this album a nine because it was a very surprising album. Good producing and her lyrics is actually nice but not quite amazing . I do think she can improve on her lyrics for her next album. Overall very good album that deserve a nom for best dance album.

Bang! is an album made to be danced. It's a refreshing summer record with a lot of urban influences mixed with hard basses and synthesizers.
