Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The fierce New York rockers who make up A.R.E. Weapons bludgeon one with the sounds of the underbelly of their city throughout their debut. The trio creates a stark, feverish aural assaults with snatches of rock, hip-hop, punkish oaths, and scolding lyrics bellowed over heart-mimicking dance hall beats. A.R.E. Weapons pick up where Lou Reed's walk on the wild side left off in the '70s, but deliver their music with more grit and aggression; think Suicide forced through a rusty blender. This is art rock at its nadir and it sounds just like the future. --Jaan Uhelszki
From URB Magazine
(Rough Trade) To be young, good looking and at the height of fashion in New York City is the plight of electro art rockers A.R.E. Weapons. They carry the burden heavily, and at times it weighs down their mixed bag of tunes with certainly more style than substance. It seems the group of slumming ex-models and moochers (including celebrity party DJ Paul Sevingy, brother of actress Chloe) have bought into the hype surrounding their quick rise to fame on the New York scene and allowed it to compromise their creativity. "Hey World," in particular, is their electro-clash tribute to P.O.D.'s "Youth of the Nation." "Changes" is an aggressive Johnny Rotten-style vocal spit on what life in the spotlight is like, and opener "Don't Be Scared" is left as the only really fully formed, melodically minded assault on the record's template. Leave A.R.E. Weapons to New York - they'll soon grow tired of them and generate something more stimulating.
