Helium's first full-length album expands on Timony's feminist lyrical bent and adds more colors to the band's musical palette. Full of what Timony calls cartoon and monster movie music, The Dirt of Luck is a tight, focused album that is also diverse. The sludgy Pat's Trick mingles with the sweet-sounding and sweetly named Honeycomb, which shares space with the nasty-sultry sounds of Medusa and the shimmery drone pop of Baby's Going Underground. It's tied together by the album's spacious sound and Timony's singing, which is fuller and richer than on the group's debut. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
