The second full-length from ex-Death From Above masterminds Jesse Keeler and Al-P continues the duo's updating of Daft Punk's robotic soul with an injection of distinctly glam-rock energy. But the difference comes in the form of FIST's high-profile hip-hop/R&B cameos from Ghostface Killah, E-40, John Legend, and Lil' Mo. They've also warped their electronics closer toward the 1970s cult-movie doom-synth of DFA peers like Zombi, fusing it with a retro love for disco cowbells and handclaps. The effect is akin to a Ratatat remix record with dance-floor aspirations; more often than not, the result is exhilarating.

Spin (p.82) - "With crunching synth riffs, fat house rhythms, and thick Justice-style scuzz, tracks like 'It Ain't Love' and '1000 Cigarettes' accommodate both headbangers and hip-shakers."

Alternative Press (p.142) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Shorter song lengths and streamlined songwriting compress the pair's energy into compact club bangers."

Q (Magazine) (p.128) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] singularly raucous concoction....Given an added sense of claustrophobia by the contributions of guest rappers Ghostface Killah and E-40."

Blender (Magazine) (p.61) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "FIST delivers a gut punch of awesomely distorted synths and raw, kicks-and-snares percussion."
