    The duo wisely experiments with a wider variety of moods and melodies.

    With its soaring guitars and crashing drums, Tweekend sounds more like a rock album than an electronic album. [Aug 2001, p.77]

    It's still the group's own thumping concoctions--"Ready for Action" and "Blowout," for instance--that ring the loudest.

    A bit relentless at times, but Chemical Brothers fans should give it a spin.
  5. Rolling Stone

    Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan have dumbed down their sound even more - and their music is all the better for it.

    Tweekend certainly isn't mind-blowing or revolutionary, but it's abundantly clear that the Crystal Method has found its sound: the hard rock and hip-hop influences that inflected Vegas move to the forefront, and the tempo comes down a few notches, thus emphasizing thunderous bass and hardcore head-bobbing.
  7. Austin Chronicle

    It's Vegas redux.

    Great followup disc. Music of this kind sounds great on disc but live and in concert is where it really blows your mind.
