Review

Rolling Stone (p.81) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Expertly modulated tension-and-release and modest atmospherics are routinely deployed on their third album..."
Spin (p.86) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "MYTH TAKES juxtaposes tribal post-punk with crooked attempts at actual pop, giving their epic groove-riders a booty-stimulating boost."
Entertainment Weekly (p.109) - "These guys are all about the groove, and when they're on -- as on 'Bend Over Beethoven' and 'Heart of Hearts' -- few can match their percussive intensity." -- Grade: B
Q (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[F]rontman Nic Offer remains an underrated vocalist, adding contorted yelps to 'All My Heroes Are Weirdos' and a disco falsetto on 'Sweet Life.'"
Alternative Press (p.192) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Brooklyn octet haven't lost an iota of edginess, funk or raucousness. !!! have crafted their most accessible and uncompromising."
Magnet (p.90) - "!!! sidles up to Hendrix-worthy wah-wah funk, finger-wagging dance jams and ghostly sound collages..."

Title Note

Composer: !!!.

!!!: Daniel Gorman, Allan Wilson (horns); Nic Offer (keyboard); Justin Van Der Volgen, John Pugh, Tyler Pope, Mario Andreoni (bass guitar); Daniel Gorma (background vocals).

With 2007's MYTH TAKES, the Brooklyn-based dance-punk octet !!! (aka Chk Chk Chk) presents an outing that's notably more accessible and immediately engaging that its predecessors. Not only have frontman Nic Offer and company reined in the excessive swearing (see the expletive-laden LOUDEN UP NOW), they have imbued their brand of robot rock with added elasticity and energy, as best revealed on the fast-paced opening title track, which coasts along on a twangy surf/spaghetti Western vibe, and the pulsing, club-ready "Heart of Hearts."

However, those worried that the ensemble has dulled its mischievous edge will be reassured by the searing, frenetic "All My Heroes Are Weirdos" and the atmospheric, groove-steeped "Bend Over Beethoven," two tunes that prove that !!!'s blatantly quirky and experimental side has been toned down, but not forgotten. For those intrigued by !!!, but put off by the band's uber-hipster archness, MYTH TAKES may be the point where they join in the party.
