    The album as a whole sweeps across a broad range of stylistic tones, maintaining levity while dabbling in comparably serious musical pursuits. [Aug 200, p.146]
  2. Following the release of its much buzzed-about 2008 breakout album, electro-rap duo 3OH!3 returns with more fast-paced, catchy digital-pop beats on its latest set, Streets of Gold.
  3. It is a Frankenstein monster built wholly from borrowed pieces, taking the accumulated lessons of years of hip-hop assimilation, the sophomoric attitude of frat-rock and the dense, dance-friendly electro-pop of the moment and grinding them into an oppressive and convincing wall of sounds.
  4. They're probably the only band in history whose latest album would sound better if they did not appear on it.
  5. We know 3OH!3 can be entertaining and danceable, but too many tracks seem rushed, unenthusiastic and even boring.
  6. I mean, the guys have packed Streets of Gold with mindless, completely clustered romps through nothingness.
  7. 3OH!3 are electro-hip-pop white bread American scum.

    I'll admit, 3OH13 does produce awful lyrics. But the songs are catchy and help put Colorado on the music map. While not as good as Want asI'll admit, 3OH13 does produce awful lyrics. But the songs are catchy and help put Colorado on the music map. While not as good as Want as they have a new sound. Streets of Gold is, well, Gold. Expand

    In short:
    The lyrics stay on play school level. Even, my son could write some more creative lyrics than 3oh!3.

    But 'Streets of Gold' has it own charm. It is not just: 'dub dub dub dub dub', but simple dance music with simple synthesizer-beats and simple electronical effects. The songs are easy to sing along.

But non of those acts are anywhere near as contemptible and truly awful as this band and this album in particular. Please do not waste your time with this tripe. Expand

    Takes the piss. This album is absolutely dreadful, the lack of intelligence in the lyrics is depressing, the music is so putrid that theTakes the piss. This album is absolutely dreadful, the lack of intelligence in the lyrics is depressing, the music is so putrid that the sounds of a cat being raped by an elephant would be more pleasant. Their prior album was repugnant, it made them my least favorite band on the face of the earth, in the entire history of mankind. This album is so putrid that it can only be described as the byproduct of fungi growing from Satan's armpit mixing with the only toilet at a chilli cook-off. It has redefined what terrible is in every way shape and form. The themes are shockingly less mature than the prior album's, focusing on the touching of genitals and removing of panties, once again objectifying women and making the assumption that their ape ugly arses are desirable in some way. The production is so heavy that it repeats the obvious lack of talent seen in their prior album, and once again there are no real instruments present in the album, only cheap synth effects. No talent went into the making of this album, it's so low brow that it kills the brain cells of those listening and sounds so awful that capitol punishment seems like the only thing 3Oh!3 deserves as payment. Essentially this album is scraping the bottom of the idiot barrel, and you're an idiot too if you enjoy it. Expand
