    The repurposed bits remain inspired, while Sugarhill Gang-style raping, sampled DJ interludes and duck jokes keep things refreshingly light. [May 2014, p.90]

    The interstitial skits can get irritating, but the edits come fast, and when those sugar-shock beats drop, all is forgiven. Facebook

    They make what is quite complex musical structures look easy, almost juvenile, and package them in shiny production gift wrapped for the masses over the airwaves or PA system or turntable.

    Even if they don't quite hit the heights of the A-Trak-name-checked influence of Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique (how could they, let alone anyone?), they've created a hedonistic, piston-pumping album that bears as much relation to the urban hustle-and-bustle as it does to festival crowds' surging, ecstatic mindsets, a love letter to NYC that sounds good just about anywhere you're likely to hear it.

    It’s cheeky, groovy, and it always sounds as though it’s teetering on the edge of being a genuine irritant.

    If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. But if it’s a creative duck, it will quack slightly more creatively. Only with more silliness and nostalgia thrown in.

    Get hip or get irked because either reaction is worthy of this loud, smart-ass joke put on loop, but not since Disco Tex unleashed his Sex-O-Lettes has there been such a cheeky way to keep dancing.

    A good, fun, 80's/90's disco type vibe. Hardly any filler....except all the skits at the end of tracks. Should've made them separate tracks soA good, fun, 80's/90's disco type vibe. Hardly any filler....except all the skits at the end of tracks. Should've made them separate tracks so they can be deleted.
    Hard to rate accurately given 'Barbara Streisand' & 'Anyway' were bangers in their day but totally sick of now that the album's come out 3 years later. Would given it a 9 otherwise.    … Full Review »

It has many great beats, while the skits are a hit and miss. My favorite tracks are: "aNYway", "NRG", "Ring Me", and "Time Waits for No-One". I'll definitely be listening to them when the summer hits.… Full Review »
