    utterly contemptible. The most bloated, cynical attempt to climb onto the "wow look @ us were kool" nu-rave bandwagon yet. It doesn't even attempt to disguise how unbelievably derivative and poor it is, it just recycles simple melodies and cynical "i liek, go out an punch ppl for fun coz i am hard" lyrics with a production style that can only be described as ugly. I urge anyone who utterly contemptible. The most bloated, cynical attempt to climb onto the "wow look @ us were kool" nu-rave bandwagon yet.

I urge anyone who is a fan of real electronic music, god electronic music, to ignore this utter pile of shit. Still better than Kate Nash though. Expand

  1. This is a damn good party--best not to miss out.
  2. Not a bad record by a long stretch but a disappointment nonetheless.
  3. Attack Decay Sustain Release defies such trite categorization and, ultimately, what it is or isn’t doesn't really matter. All you need to know is this is quality.
