Beep Beep have most accurately been described as a ''danceable tantrum'', a more psychotic take on the increasingly popular dance punk tag. Although the album feels about as subtle as being thrown into a blender, the songs are actually intricately detailed and crafted, and there's a lot to absorb. The cathartic vocal gymnastics of Chris Hughes are accentuated by cutting guitar riffs and up-tempo bass and drum beats.
The place where a large portion of these bordering schizophrenic bands fall down is the lack of dynamics. It's either crazy, screaming freak outs, or the track is just changing on your stereo. Fortunately, Beep Beep have incorporated in a fair amount of variation with electronic fiddling and clever instrumentation to hold interest. That being said, the band does at times cross the line of over indulgent nonsense (see the 40 second ramble about ''gooey chewy candy'' in 'Chewy Poison').
It's certainly an easy album to get lost in. The tracks are intensely immediate and within a few seconds you may have know idea where you were the moment before. This certainly helps with the longevity of the album, but if anything, most people will be turned away at the door as soon as Hughes starts yelping ''I am the secretary!''
