www.nowontour.com gives Ima Robot 4.5 out of 5, and backs it up with the following:
"The 80s musical influence is coming back. Soon, if not already, you will see it in fashion (something we can all do without). However, when it
comes to music, a taste of the 1980s resurging back into today's rock is acceptable by my standards. Now, I'm not talking of "big
hair" or "love ballad" bands - I'm talking about one band in particular, Ima Robot. This collaboration of artists stand apart from
other bands currently heard on radio today.
The first track, "Dynomite," caught my attention when I first heard Ima Robot while catching their music video on television. The next day I
rushed out to find the self-titled record. Of course, I didn't just hear about Ima Robot this week. I've had the disc for months now, in my
car, in my house, at the gym, but never having a moment to write a sentence to get the word out about this LA based band.
"Scream" is one of my favorites to listen to. Alex Ebert's vocals are reminiscent of the Cars and David Bowie throughout the album. The
guitar and bass elements are catchy, never feeling repetitive, as each song is its own independent sound. The momentum picks up as it heads into track
six, "Dirty Life." You'll find yourself singing along to all the songs and the record as it will not leave your CD player for weeks at
a time.
I got a chance to see Ima Robot live, and I highly recommend checking them out. Alex's voice is representative of what you'll hear live or
on the record. No overproduction on vocals with this band. Also, the stage presence of all band members keeps your eyes glued to them as your feet
dance around. Make this band huge in 2004!"
