This one's from CDTimes:

"Late-eighties revisionists Ima Robot freak out on stage next, and even the LA band's lead singer Alex Ebert is attempting a little too hard to appear as a cross between Richard Blank and Robert Smith. Still, some of the songs are delivered with such frenetic enthusiasm that it's hard not to think you're watching a high school band in the film Heathers. However, the band's impression is let down slightly because they leave all of their good numbers till the end, such as 12=3 (Here Come The Doctors), Dynomite and Black Jettas; at which point the audience is unsure whether to take them seriously or not. Despite this, some of the tunes are strong enough to warrant seeking out the record should it finally be released in the UK."
