!!! would evolve significantly since issuing this debut album ten years ago, but their sound has always been a funky sort of dance-punk and to those who aren’t necessarily fans of this stuff, the distinctions among this band's work won’t stand out. This album features too many tracks that sound a bit too similar, though they often hit on some really nice grooves. Nic Offer’s vocals, which will probably sound downright annoying to some listeners, could make or break the album for some. One track that stands out is the eight-minute “There’s No Fucking Rules, Dude,” if only because it experiments with some different tempos. Fans will love the propulsive rhythms, detractors will find the band's attitude amateurish. Both might be right.
6.5 / 10
