    I bought the Moving Units EP earlier this year and fell in love. Sure it sounded like all the other dance punk bands out now, and the lyrics were silly, but I loved it. Besides, most bands full-lengths almost never sound exactly the same as their EP right? Wrong. Listening to this album, I could've been listening to the same 3 songs on repeat. The album is fun to dance to, and if I bought the Moving Units EP earlier this year and fell in love.

    If Ian Curtis had stuck around for Zoloft and Hot Hot Heat, Joy Division's Closer might've sounded a lot like this album. [Dec 2004, p.158]

    Dangerous Dreams' late arrival was nearly enough to doom it to obscurity, but the disc's lack of new ideas puts the final nail in the coffin.

    Dangerous Dreams is plagued by a pervasive feeling of been there/done that, and the album ultimately sounds like the same two or three tracks on repeat.
