A truly twisted masterpiece that offers new rewards with each new listen.
-
MojoLargely an enjoyable exercise in the perversion of the three-minute pop song. [Nov 2002, p.110]
-
BlenderThey've toughened up considerably. [#12, p.154]
-
An unapologetically eccentric album that explores the boundaries of psychedelic pop sounds in the same way Autechre does in the electronic world.
-
They sound like little else you’ve heard before.
-
MixerSome compared Simian's debut to the Beta Band, but this is much more retro, raw and rockin'. [Jan 2003, p.76]
-
A disappointing mishmash of simple electroclash beats and basslines and forceful, constant vocals. Gone is the dreaminess, the floating melodies, basically everything good about Simian's debut.
