  1. The most wildly inventive, exploratory, unafraid, surprising, nonsensical, and flat out funkiest single I’ve heard all year.

    It's a funky spin on the dance-punk of late-'70s/early-'80s acts like Gang of Four. [6 Jun 2003, p.78]
  3. [A] nine-minute sprawling, shifting and landing tidal wave.
  4. Easily the crowning achievement of their short lifespan thus far.
  5. Does little to sully their reputation as one of the "great white hopes" of the indie dance nation.
  6. Alternative Press

    The A-side sports some significant drive and heft. [Jul 2003, p.122]
  7. So New York. So everything. So new. But yet, so much like the hippies saying, "Man, if we could only get Nixon to smoke pot, then we'd have world peace, man."
