UncutIt's exuberant dorkiness, as well as fluidity of playing, that makes !!! stand out. [Jul 2004, p.106]
-
A decent album, then. But one containing an EP that would've had us going "!!!!!".
-
The music is still missing one crucial elementhooks. There really arent any of which to speak, and no amount of production skill and instrumental finesse is able to mask that.
-
Their dark disco punk is as close to a New York sound as anything these days.
-
They write some good tunes, and they have some appropriately strident abuse for lyrics. But theres not enough for an album.
-
SpinUnfortunately, the elements that clicked so well on "Giuliani" prove an awkward fit on !!!'s sophomore full-length. [Jul 2004, p.111]
-
If you take away the 9 minutes of their already-released big single, you could probably squeeze a tight EP out of Louden Up Now, but as a full-length [it] starts with a bang and ends with sort of a whimper. Fun to filler in 53 minutes.
-
Now, this wouldn't seem so bad, or filler-friendly, if !!! offered an advancement on "Giuliani." Alas, no.
-
While the album certainly has cuts worth hearing, it's just not a satisfying listen.
