Average Rating: 
Rating: - Has some good songs, but overall it's uneven and merely "ok" - for electronica fans only
Adult's "Anxiety Always" has promise, but it just doesn't deliver. They try to be as creative as possible, but what they do is create unlistenable and unsatisfying songs. Not to mention that whoever the female vocalist is needs to work on her style (it's not horrible, but it's just not that good). The electronic style is essentially just very fuzzy guitars with some blips, bloops and samples thrown in every now and then. Overall it feels uninspired and not very interesting. The lyrics are especially ... Read More
Rating:  - Slutty
Just plain slutty, but I mean this in the most positive way ever. When I hear raw electro beats and dirty synth like this I just think: slutty. Adult uses a lot of the old school 80's drum sounds, not much unlike the tr-808 or something of that nature. Adult has a female singer. Her voice is very annoying, but that's why it is good. Adult may be electro (please never say electroclash), but Adult's roots are founded in punk music. This is also a positive thing. You may hear Adult bumping at 80's night ... Read More
Rating: - Not bad but...
The lyrics and vocals get on my nerves. It sounds way too intentional to be genuinly wierd. The music is good. I love the instrumental tracks. Maybe she should get a voice pedal and concentrate on using her voice as an instrument. That would be Fantastical!
Rating:  - ok so....
chances are this is better than anything you own. so buy it. it's derivative of early 80's synth (and punk) music, but is still probably better than anything you own. and it still manages to sound quite original. and it's great to dance to. and they're great live. and their record label is great. so buy it ok?
Rating:  - Skip it, much better electro and retro-wave out there
This album starts off good with the instrumental track "The Cold Call" but after that it's all down hill. What really hurts this record, and .Adult in general, are the vocals. They seem to be going for a tongue-in-cheek Berlin-esque mono-tone that really comes across as silly and annoying. The minimalist electro beats and synth programming is actually really well done. I liked .Adult's first record, I think they hit the mark with that effort but this one doesn't really expand on their previous ... Read More
