The Virgins is punchy and slinky and over before you know it, but good, dirty fun while it lasts.

It all adds up to a guilty pleasure for those old enough to remember the '80s.

Cumming might still be a petty thief--of sounds and ideas now, not clothes--but he clutches at this material as if he invented it, and the band's boldness is hard to resist.

It’s safe to say this album messes with our heads. You could do worse than let it mess with yours.

UncutThe New York threesome have just about enough tunes to pull it off. [Jun 2009, p.93]

While it’s not a bad debut, it’s nothing special either.

MusicM.Jun 17, 2008Ten sharp, punchy, and well-produced tunes. If the major labels could turn out this kind of product regularly, they might have a brighter future.
