Zero to Nine, I'm in line, I feel fine.

"Another great album fron Junkie XL, who once again partners with the Silver Surfing Rudeboy AKA Ronin to produce a second masterpiece of electronic musical artistry that really has to be listed in depth to be grasped. Powerful and fast-paced tracks like "Check your Basic Groove" and "Power of Big Slacks" keep you going, and the entire album sort of unfolds as one or two massive over-tracks as all the songs are made to flow into one another. The album has a few really long instrumental pieces("Power of Big Slacks (reprise)" comes to mind, at 11 minutes or so), but Junkie XL's talent is such that he/they can in fact manage to keep an 11-minute-long instrumental interesting. Songs such as "Zerotonine" and "Next Plateau" defy classification, spanning several genres simultaneously and producing results unlike anything else.In conclusion, another must-have work by this artist whose future is still very, very bright."

"Definitely a mix of a lot of other genres but done very well. I haven't run across anyone who's heard it that didn't like at least some of the CD. I would put this on the top of my "getting-out-of-the-shower-and-going-out" list."

"I first heard "Action Radius" on Need for Speed Underground and it blew me away. XL's use of rock/punk elements spliced with Big-Beat and hard Techno grooves are amazing. Nothing I have heard in recent months comes close. In a world filled with Ushers, Britneys and J.Lo's, it is delicously refreshing to find an album like this. Look out for the "The power of big slacks," a symphonic master piece swirling with emotion! A big highlight!

Buy it, blast it, enjoy it! This album rocks!"
