Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, 9/21/2010

Exhibit A
Figure 1: Several indicators, including pointless lasers and talking pop-culture robots, point to the underlying seriousness of this effort.Exhibit B

Figure 3a (supplementary): Enough with this doe-eyed horseshit.Pro tip: Always never use the word "always" when reviewing music.
