Lost At Sea
"there's nothing else like this band right now and possibly ever. The volume and power of late 90s rap metal without all the stupidity and endless chugalug. Vocals that not only sing sweet melodies but support them with harmonies that push and pull against the current of noise, only sassy and canny, like a My Bloody Valentine that's being marketed to pre-teens." ...

Entertainment Weekly
"It's as if every element of Sleigh Bells' genre-swerving sound--primitive guitar fuzz, pastiche beats, sugar-buzz?vocals--bypasses the default snark button and burrows?directly into jaded listeners' punch-drunk pleasure centers." ... Read full review

I didn't instantly love it like I do now, but it did make me want to take another listen. If you do not like loud music, I do not recommend that you listen to Sleigh Bells. One of the most unique albums of the year and is definitely in my top 10 of 2010.… Expand

It isn't really suited for anything else, but fortunately the group doesn't aspire to much more. As well as the album conquers its niche, though, the initial thrill eventually wears off, and only a few songs really stick with you. I have to wonder about the longevity of Sleigh Bells' appeal, but I really can't blame anyone for loving them to death right now.… Expand

Come on people wake up. This whole album is nothing but teeth chattering drum machine beats and whiny female vocals. This isn't music Come on people wake up. This whole album is nothing but teeth chattering drum machine beats and whiny female vocals. This isn't music nor is it art it's just the result of another untalented hipster group getting a bit to lucky. If I could rate this album in negative numbers I would.… Expand
