4.0 out of 5 stars Slutty, August 29, 2005

Just plain slutty, but I mean this in the most positive way ever. When I hear raw electro beats and dirty synth like this I just think: slutty. Adult uses a lot of the old school 80's drum sounds, not much unlike the tr-808 or something of that nature. Adult has a female singer. Her voice is very annoying, but that's why it is good. Adult may be electro (please never say electroclash), but Adult's roots are founded in punk music. This is also a positive thing. You may hear Adult bumping at 80's night at that horrible scene dance club you go to, or maybe some awfully pushy and forward girl in your Women Studies class recommended them to you. Don't let that bother you.

At first listen Adult may seem completely pretentious, but I assure you that's part of the fun.

Has this review helped you? Hell yeah it has. Buy the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Automatic classic!!, February 7, 2004

All of the Adult. naysayers appear to be ravers who don't know that electronic music doesn't have to be ibiza friendly. Adult. has embraced electronics as a means of music expression, but do not limit themselves to categorization. If you are expecting a Felix sound or (sigh)-Tiga, then you've come to the wrong place. This is pure electronic post-punk existing in our present time. Adult. is the only band thrown into the hodgepodge that is "electroclash" that knows how to rock with their synths. If the clubbers can't handle it, then they can go listen to their Ladytron CDs.

Adult are gaining speed in Houston, selling rather quickly. Great retro-electro female vocals with a couple of instrumentals. Buy this CD. Highly recommended.
