Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "They're old-school suckers for love, and they always give their heart-hopeful anthems just the right undercurrent of ache.", "ONE LIFE STAND's best songs attain the elusive simpatico between catchy hooks and disarmingly earnest lyricism that makes Hot Chip the thinking-man's dance band.", "'Thieves In The Night' opens the album in a slow burning fashion but builds to a suitably frenetic, euphoric climax.", Ranked #44 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "The brilliant sound design and techno imperatives were stronger than ever...", "When Hot Chip fuse gospel, funk, and R&B with catchy electro, their music feels as warm and expressive as any Stax classic.", "A warm album....With richly uplifting arrangements, dynamic percussion and an attention to vocals (some shared) that's intimately communal...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "ONE LIFE STAND grounds the quirks of frontman Alexis Taylor & Co. in melodies and sentiments....It's a good marriage, especially on 'Slush,' which has a timeless, hymn-like quality...", "Dance-Floor Fare like 'i Feel Better' and 'take It In' Still Flash Classic Acid-House Chops...", "ONE LIFE STAND marks the next step in Hot Chip's development....The ballad 'Slush,' for instance, exemplifies Hot Chip's diminished dependence on electronics.", "ONE LIFE STAND saw Hot Chip embrace sincerity with lush, open-hearted songs that are sometimes intimate and often anthemic...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It isn't a coincidence that this, Hot Chip's most focused album, is also their finest....It's intriguing, beguiling...never, ever boring."
