Sep 22, 2010This is a great album with lots of pop - meaning it really grooves and makes you smile. It sounds maybe 65% TV on the Radio, with the rest filled out with other cool and interesting sounds. Faves are Groove Me and Tiger - but I guess that's because they sound the most like jammin' TV on the Radio tracks. What a pleasant surprise (as I hadn't heard about this until a week before its release).

Sep 26, 2010I think this is a great album. Its easy to listen to and enjoy, and there's lots of great guest appearences on tracks. Although I find the album is a tad predictable and there is not much variety when it comes to songs. Solid debut for Sitek though.

Dec 13, 2010Maximum Balloon, obviously, is not your typical TVOTR tour de force. But it doesn't aspire to be. What it simply seeks is to make your ass shake.

Under The RadarOct 26, 2010Overall, Maximum Balloon is a generally pleasing collection, if not consistently striking. [Fall 201, p.68]

Maximum Balloon really about a great producer/songwriter exhibiting his considerable talents free from the pressure and expectation of his day job.
