Reviews"If it feels more like a showcase of new approaches and ideas than of perfectly turned songs, it's still a hot ride." - Grade: B+, Ranked #40 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "Frontman Julian Casablancas still sounded remarkably surly.", "Jules' Croon Remains One of the Most Beautiful Messes in Contemporary Music..." -- Grade: B-, 3 stars out of 5 -- "FIRST IMPRESSIONS...is the sound of a group coming back to earth after a remarkable rocket-ride and knuckling down to their task.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Electricityscape is a dalliance with rock bombast that actually works, its pummelling drums, cyclical guitar strafes and urban melodrama channelling the spirit of Springsteen's 'Born To Run'.", "The Drum-Less, String-Adorned 'ask Me Anything' Is a Beautiful Mid-Record Palate Cleanser."
