5 stars Best Album This Year
I won't bother with highbrow recitals. Let me just say that this album and this band will rock you and keep you adictively coming back for more. It's rare to find such a well-rounded, well-balanced release--not a single track is lacking and each one has something strong to offer. I've played it for several friends and not one can stop listening. You'll feel the fool if you don't hop on the Hot Chip waggon. This band is going places. Also check out their first album--it's extremely satisfying as well.

1 stars Would work better without the "vocals"
Interesting music and rhythms, if a bit austere, but the singing (I'm being generous) would have been better left out completely. As it is, it works as background music for the pretentious.

As for 'a debt to Kraftwerk', mention of Kraftwerk in the same breath as this cd is laughable. ALL electronic music made in the last 30 years owes a debt to Kraftwerk, but that's as much as can be said vis-a-vis this work.

Invoking Krafwerk is akin to keyword spam on internet auction sites.
