    Auto-tuned pro-tools synthetic garage rock. So many bands do it better than this silly group. If you want good ol fashioned rock listen to BRMC or The Red Bennies. This band will soon be forgotten.

    Throughout, monster riffs abound. Perhaps this monochrome-clad cartoon combo are as great as singer Howlin’ Pelle always said they were.

    Most of the album, like the single 'Tick Tock Boom,' sticks to formula. [Nov 2007, p.150]

    The Black And White Album feels less like a fresh start than the end of something.
