Bad band name and bad title for an album (You Have No Idea What You're Getting Into).

They have received some pretty low scores including a 2.3 from P4K.

I think the album is a lot better then what is being said. This is a case where I don't care what the critics say because the album has some pretty good electronic tracks and overall would be a good dance album in my opinion. The critics are emphasizing the terrible band name too much.

This will probably go under the radar due to the bad reviews which is of course a shame. They do have a pretty big fanbase nonetheless.

Anyone share the same opinion?

I like it. It's fun. And it has what is probably the best song title of the year so far: "Attack of the 60 ft. Lesbian Octopus."


"Listen to the silence in between. It's louder than the bombs when they come screaming in."

They do have a few of hot tracks, but they are very similar to the likes of Daft Punk, Justice (Daft Punk on a noise trip) and most NME electro acts out there.


It pays to kill anyone who has information.

Not going to disagree with you. I'm not too worried about "copycats" but the album is still pretty good despite the lackluster reviews.

I think this album is brilliant, simple but great fun.
