The album is great, but there seems to be a problem with the pressing. I recieved 2 copies from Amazon and the last song on side A skips and loops. Ultimately I sent it back.
I was first introduced to Ratatat when my friend brought his iPod and docking station into our class in order to play music - radio in Boise isn't too great. I instantly had to find out what that was ("Lex" on Classics). I then bought that album and loved it. This one is better. They've gone more for a hip-hop feel on some of the songs, but some are completely different. They have more beeps and clicks, and a lot more variety between songs. If you want a good sampler of the album, listen to track 2 (Falcon Jab) and track 11 (Mumtaz Khan).
Occupies the musical niche that exists somewhere between Beethoven, Bob Marley, and Daft Punk. The concept sounds pretty impossible, but I can't really think of specific genre of music this album comes closer to. The mood of the songs tends to veer between slightly dancey, slightly melancholy, slightly angry, but when they pull out all the stops (as in Shempi, which I think is track 7) the effect is absolutely epic.
So overall, as weird as it is, I can't recommend it enough.
