"This album surrounded me growing up and still almost does, despite me rarely making a conscience effort to listen to it.

"Huh... There's some fantastic tracks on here. Amazing album... no, but why so much hate? I'd listen to this 10 times over and over again before I had to listen to an Animal poser hipster Collective album. They started to sell out... hahaha... it's pop music. They sold out the moment they wrote so..." [+] Reply

"Great production sound enhancing just meh songs.. Too self-consciously cool to really excite. We know where they got their gritty blues style from and they know that we know. Was there a Kills vs White Stripes fan war back in the day?" Reply

"I can only imagine how agonising the wait for a new album would've been for Kraftwerk fans (then again, it's been 13 years since "tour de france soundtracks" to the present day), but Kraftwerk certainly met all expectations with this highly energetic album.
