"Didn't like it at first. I thought it was too cheesy, especially "Your Love Alone Is Not Enough". I think differently now, well, I was going to list my favourite songs, but then I realized that all songs here are strong! It has a great energy and catchiness." Reply

"The music is witty, poppy and danceable. Hot chip bring their own style with these immediately-infectious tunes. i had a good inclination this new album would blow that one away upon hearing lead single "ready for the floor", which just builds with brilliance. "one pure thought" was my other top ..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic retro album that really captures that pre psychedelic sixties sound. The sounds of Dusty Springfield and Lulu are all over the record. As a deliberate attempt to make a sixties drenched album, it works brilliantly. Pity she couldn't follow it up." Reply

"From track 4 to track 9 you get a great listen, that EP would be 9/10 for me. But the first 3 tracks and the last 2 are definitely not my cup of tea." Reply

"I just don't understand how people have not acknowledged this album for all its dreamy, heavy, shoegazing beauty. Just a great outing by three superb musicians. Check out Subzero Fun, Turnstile Blues, Blanket, Sugarless" Reply
"Much better than MC5 indeed, than the NY Dolls as well, and about as great as The Stooges at their peak. Some really dirty-ass proto-punk with furious guitar riffs, a flawless record, and it's only 25 minute long. Get on it." Reply

"So, El-P - Fantastic Damage. Even though El-P has been one of the pioneers of the experimental/abstract hip hop rise right after the turn of the 21st century, which I am a big fan of, I have the tendency to terribly underrate him (I even called him a poor man's Aesop Rock once). Anyway, if you wa..." [+] Reply
