Jagged, fractured, splintered, and downright violent-sounding, it's easily the most extreme music the duo has made.
-
A much more serious, often less danceable, instrumental effort.
-
This is an impressive record in many respects, and its hooks and patterns only emerge after many plays, but it's also an oddly distant one.

UrbOn Varcharz, Mouse on Mars crank out 11 new tracks that, for better and worse, continue to expand the boundaries of abstract music. [Sep 2006, p.138]
-
SpinA masterful blend of electronic genres. [Oct 2006, p.102]
-
In the end, Varcharz feels like an in-betweener album, where the duo hasn't quite figured out which direction they want to move in next.
-
None of the really experimental stuff is so egregious to mar the album; it’s just fairly disposable after one keen listen. On the other hand, the good, funky stuff isn’t quite as good or funky as it has been in the past.
