| Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | The second full-length from ex-Death From Above masterminds Jesse Keeler and Al-P continues the duo's updating of Daft Punk's robotic soul with an injection of distinctly glam-rock energy. But the difference comes in the form of FIST's high-profile hip-hop/R&B cameos from Ghostface Killah, E-40, John Legend, and Lil' Mo. They've also warped their electronics closer toward the 1970s cult-movie doom-synth of DFA peers like Zombi, fusing it with a retro love for disco cowbells and handclaps. The effect is akin to a Ratatat remix record with dance-floor aspirations; more often than not, the result is exhilarating. |

| Artist Overview |
| MSTRKRFT (pronounced "master kraft") are the Daft Punk-loving duo of Death from Above 1979's Jesse F. Keeler and producer Al-P. Hailing from Toronto, the duo makes a move from DFA 1979's abrasive rock to robotic electronic complete with vocoders and handclaps. In addition to releasing a slew of albums and singles starting in 2006, MSTRKRFT have remixed several buzz bands such as Metric, Wolfmother, the Kills, and Bloc Party. |

| Professional Reviews |
| Spin (p.82)
- "With crunching synth riffs, fat house rhythms, and thick Justice-style scuzz, tracks like 'It Ain't Love' and '1000 Cigarettes' accommodate both headbangers and hip-shakers."Alternative Press (p.142)
- 4 stars out of 5 -- "Shorter song lengths and streamlined songwriting compress the pair's energy into compact club bangers." Q (Magazine)
(p.128)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] singularly raucous concoction....Given an added sense of claustrophobia by the contributions of guest rappers Ghostface Killah and E-40." Blender (Magazine)
(p.61)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "FIST delivers a gut punch of awesomely distorted synths and raw, kicks-and-snares percussion." |
