Reviews
"...The nearest thing America has to Fatboy Slim....the album has the same cheekily opportunistic spirit of its predecessor, Van Helden's sticky fingers busily probing all kinds of forgotten pop cultural corners...", 7 out of 10 - "...Van Helden rocks....The album is well-crafted and commendably diverse....He is great at creating slamming neo-disco hooks...", "...A Rough 'n' Randy Concoction of Beats and Bass...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...A diverse excursion to The Paradise Garage, the floor of the Boutique, Rio Carnival and all spots in-between...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A pugnacious party album....KILLING PURITANS may come to be known as the album that launched Gangsta House.", 8 out of 10 - "...Confliction has never sounded better....gritty trademark house variants conjure the feel of a packed club when stuff is blowing up. The one-two KO comes mid-set....his greatest come-hither record yet...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...It has a kind of giggling exuberance that's as near to Beavis & Butt-head as it is to Shanks & Bigfoot....the message is simple - you can't beat dance music that rocks...", Ranked #9 in Spin's "Top 20 Albums of the Year 2000"., 3 stars out of 5 - "...Equates musical snobbery with global capitalism and proclaims 'Individualism is God'. This effectively translates as a punk-rock snottiness and attendant fondness for brazenly simplistic conceits..."
