Teen site kiwibox.com reviews the album lovingly:

by Anna H. - Senior Editor

After being hailed as one of the best live bands in years, Ima Robot has built a small, steady fan following. Members of the band have worked with Beck for at least a decade, Mars Volta, REM, Tori Amos, Johnny Cash, The Vines and The Smashing Pumpkins, just to name a few. Alex Ebert's strong hip-hop influences had managed to make Ima Robot one of the best synth-pop albums in years.

"Dynomite" starts the CD off, alerting the listener that what they are about to hear is going to sound like something straight from a Devo album. The synthesized sounds along with Ebert's gripping screaming approach to vocals make the song "dynomite."

This pattern of screaming vocals and original tunes that only can remind of the 80's makes this CD classic. "Song #1" defines what this CD is about--it "breaks the f*@#ing mold."

It's not until "Scream" does the band even relent on pounding with Ebert's distinct voice. "Philosophee" recreates the days of Super Nintendo with almost archaic sounds. The vocals aren't the best, but when combined with the music, it's impossible to not overlook the downfalls of the vocals.

The approach of "who cares if it's cool or not" makes this CD even more unique. The point never was to please a group of people, but to please themselves as artists first. In the end, it makes this CD memorable. It's commendable that Ima Robot took a chance with making something they wanted to make.

But most importantly, Ima Robot is just fun to listen to. It's hard to keep from wanting to get up and dance from the beats. Things do level off at the end, but the beginning more than compensates for it. Spending $10 on this album is the best thing to do if looking for something refreshing in music.
