This is such a great album. Normally, I'm not a big fan of techno music (I prefer indie rock and punk) but Soulwax defies categorization. These guys are amazing. No two tracks sound the same. The music varies from chaotic guitar noise, to otherworldly sounds, to beautiful soft melodies, often in the same song, but the one common thread throughout the album is a sense of fun and excitement. I thought Much Against Everyone's Advice was such a great album-- this one is even better.

A very tight piece of work. I bought this album on the strength of only one song 'N Y Excuse' which I don't normally do, but I'm glad I did. Although 'N Y Excuse' is different to any other track on the album, the rest of the album holds its own and is by no means filler.

Everyone knows SOULWAX from their wacky "Too Many DJs" mash-up mix CDs, but few know they are actually a more-than-competent ROCK band - they have released two full-length studio album over the years (one even released in the U.S. on Almo Sounds that flopped, too bad, that even contained the original song "Too Many DJs") - trust me, this is good stuff - while flat, tin-eared NY "dance rock" acts like Radio 4 and The Rapure cannot carry a tune to save their lives, SOULWAX shows 'em how its done, liberally mixing up potent doses of stadium rock, electro-clash, and good-old fashion rawk n roll hooks into an addictive brew - again, WHY isn't this CD available in the U.S. yet?! WHY aren't Soulwax on MTV or Rolling Stone? They may be from Sweden, but they put a lot of homegrown bands to shame - peep this now!

I simply can't stop playing it. Unlike anything out there right now, this record will go down in history as the start of something big. Sorry that this review isn't very detailed, but it's taken me several months to stop doing anything other than listen to this record [i.e. type on a computer].

This is the only record on my iPod that has a solid 4-star rating on each track. If you don't get off listening to "NY Excuse" there is something wrong with you. "Accidents and Compliments" just came on right now and from the opening swell of guitars and strings I was instantly moved; this record has not lost any shine after 30+ listens.

Waiting anxiously for them to do a U.S. tour...

I just wanna make clear that soulwax definitely are Belgians.When people think that they're a Swedish band that's an insult to all of the Belgian People.We are proud of the few good rockbands that we have."Any minute now" is a fantastic album by the way if you'd ask me.So I hope that It's now 100 % clear that Soulwax is totally Belgian.
Thank You
