"Techno with layers and substance. The best is when it gets into a nice groove with the excellent beats, particularly in the middle of the album. Opener "Forever" is another highlight, and I liked the beats and the weird male opera singer on closer "Attached". Along the way there are some tracks t..." [+] Reply
"Killer Scientist Dub. Found Scientist wins the World Cup years later and that is just as good." Reply
"The ultimate travesty is that this band is remembered for one song (Sex and Candy). When their entire debut is made up of whimsical stories and memorable songs from the wonderful mind of John Wozniak, who is a criminally underrated songwriter. This album deserves multiple listens and respect." Reply

"Super underrated. This is like that Styx album that was supposed to be a rock opera, but executed well. Yes, Video Killed the Radio Star is the obvious standout track, but there's not really a bad song on here and the synthesizer stuff is really cool. Sad that this seemingly fell by the wayside a..."

"A superb soundtrack album. Certainly better than the film, although it is fun, but the music is superb. Textured and atmospheric it drips New York with just the right amount of attitude. The title track is brilliantly humourus and the epic Do your thing is absolutely jaw dropping. One of the best..." [+] Reply

"There are a few really great tracks here, and some that could've been left off. One of the songs of the year was "One Week," a song that is fun to sing along with as any. Then "Alcohol," in which the Ladies tell us how much better their lives are now that they've discoverd alcohol. Doesn't everyo..." [+] Reply

"Zimmerman's best venture into house music to date. Big hitting dance songs balanced out by more experimental, ambient ones like Soma and brought together fantastically at the end with Strobe. Certainly easy to see how people find this boring, and they're right to see the album that way. But look ..." [+] Reply
