Reviews"Sleigh Bells' Sound Is Jaw-Droppingly Fresh...", Ranked #46 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Their debut planted saccharine buzzpop melodies behind a wall of noise...", "The track 'Rill Rill' leaves room to breathe -- Krauss' voice is unusually sweet over easygoing guitar and slow-jam snaps.", Ranked #2 in Alternative Press's "10 Essential Albums of 2010" -- "Overflowing with distorted dance beats, sparse but brutal guitar riffs and Krauss' minimalist vocals...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "As eclectic pop visions go, Sleigh Bells' one is pretty impressive....A thrilling ride.", "They gather up bits from all over and use them to create music that puts you squarely in the present moment....The music hits so hard, and in such a satisfying way, and it seems designed to bring you back to the totality of the sound.", "Monumentally caustic but hypothetically a dance band, Sleigh Bells sculpt infectious double-dutch funk...", "With Primitive Guitar Fuzz, Pastiche Beats, and Sugar-Buzz Vocals..." -- Grade: A-, "At the vocal helm is Alexis Krauss, who employs a fierceness close to Veruca Salt's Nina Gordon on the stripped-down punk stomp 'Infinity Guitars.'", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "With noise that's friendly and cute, primitivism that masks pop smarts and respect for tradition, from New Wave to Sixties rock."
