MojoSep 18, 2015This is serious... and seriously good. [Oct 2015, p.89]
-
Sep 18, 2015It's a digital landscape where a very human pulsebeat lurks below the surface, and HeCTA's debut is an experiment that works remarkably well on its own terms.
-
UncutSep 18, 2015It's an immersive and emphatically pulsing ride along Detroit techno lines. [Oct 2015, p.77]
-
Under The RadarNov 12, 2015The Diet is an economical, yet lovely, collection of bouncy dance beats, idiosyncratic vocals, and polished synths. [Nov-Dec 2015, p.77]
-
MagnetSep 22, 2015It's pretty weird. Not necessarily any weirder than your average Lambchop record, although it is, for the most part, considerably less gorgeous. [No. 124, p.57]
-
Sep 18, 2015The faster, rhythmic tracks are less convincing, though they can excite on occasion, but it’s this mish-mash of successes that make the album jar, and not in the way HeCTA would have desired.
-
Oct 19, 2015If it doesn’t quite hang together as a complete album, The Diet demonstrates that, as ambivalent as they are about the modern world, Wagner and company are comfortable and more than competent at operating within it.
