    If this is indeed, as rumoured, LCD's final bout, it finds them a little heavy and tired, but occasionally deceptively light on their feet. [Jun 2010, p.82]

    Familiar elements (Nancy Wang's cheerleading vocals, sparse instrumentation colliding, lyrical misanthropy) are present and correct, but everything is bolder and deeper. [June 2010, p. 93]
  3. This music sounds fantastic, as usual--clean, tight and separated in the mix--but songwriting inspiration is in short supply.
  4. Despite occasional flashes of brilliance it’s a patchy, derivative work.
