UncutIt's hard to believe there will be a better record than Last Exit released this year. [Jul 2004, p.102]
-
BlenderPresents a rarity--a genuinely new sound. [Nov 2004, p.136]
-
Last Exit is a monumental debut... on par with It’s My Life or Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret.
-
It is indeed a soaring achievement, one seemingly without missteps.... In fact, the only drawback of an album this expertly executed is its smoothness.
-
Q MagazineIt's '80s synth-pop in spirit rather than form, miles away from the make-up clad silliness of electroclash and much more interested in muching about with present day technology than simply recreating the past. [Jun 2004, p.98]
-
Last Exit is noteworthy for taking on a sound that's easy to screw up (emoting over synthetic beats) and actually making it work.
-
What worries me about the obviously talented Junior Boys is their tendency to round their corners. The music is so safe, so pleasant; it's not hard to imagine it in the Starbucks CD rotation without raising an eyebrow.
