Robert Christgau(choice cut)

The Independent wrote: "The montage of found-sounds that separates the tracks—answerphone messages, fake announcements etc.—may be directly descended from De La Soul, but the vocal style here is less relaxed, more in the vein of speed-rappers like Das EFX. Fitting syllables to beats like complex jigsaw puzzles, their incessant rap style can ultimately be as wearing as their vocabulary is impressive."
