I don't dance. But I love this CD. It puts me in a better mood no matter what. Beyond that, I need to say that people who are fans of Glassjaw should not be necessarily turned off right away by this.

If Glassjaw and hardcore are the only things you listen to, perhaps you should expand your horizons. I love Glassjaw. And I love Head Automatica. Two different bands.

Any of Head Automatica's CD's will make you realize how diverse Daryl Palumbo is, and how much fun you can have listening to this music.

This record was not a good idea, from a marketing standpoint. It is not even close to hip-hop (goodbye, Automator fans). It is nowhere in the neighborhood of punk (whoops...sorry, Glassjaw devotees). Neither of the two most visible contributors to the album have created anything that remotely resembles anything in their catalog, and that, as much as anything, is responsible for some of the negative press you can read here.

That's a shame, because as an independent project, not knowing anybody involved with the work, this is an above average pop rock entry. It's not going to change the world. Frankly, I'm bored with "artsy" music. If I hear one more argument about Radiohead I'm going to throw somebody out of a window. This is music you can put in and expect it to sink nicely into the background, and not in that bad, boring, sleepy way. It's music that won't offend most openminded folks' (meaning, not attached to their particular niche genre--i.e. not EXCLUSIVELY punk, or hip hop, or country for that matter) musical sensibilities. It is the definition of party music.

That said, it's hard to say whether you'll like this or not. I came here because I like Dan the Automator. He hasn't produced anything yet that I'd throw out with the garbage. This particular record bears more of a relationship to Lovage than it does to Deltron 3030, but even that comparison is loose and difficult to make. I like this record mostly because I also like the occasional guitar-driven pop rock outing. As such, I'd recommend it more to people that fall in the latter camp than folks that came here from the former.

To repeat, because it bears repeating: this is NOT hip hop. This is NOT punk. Do NOT buy this album and then complain because it's not either of those things.

I have heard of this album for a while just never ventured to get it altough it was highly acclaimed before, when, and after it came out. This album gets off to a great start when the second song kicks in i.e. Brooklyn Is Burning. Then it goes into Beating Heart Baby a great song and if I am not mistaken the beat in the verse is a sample of U2's Two Hearts Beating As One. Then from there it goes into my favorite song on this album Please Please Please ( Young Hollywood). Amazing song is an understatement for this particular song. Great album from start to finish and a great party record.

This album is just good plain fun. Simple as that. The beats are very enjoyable, Dan the Automator is magic on this album. And Palumbo is becoming one of my favorite frontman. He sounds amazing in his other band Glassjaw(check them out) and he sounds amazing on this record.

The album is not going to change your life, its not revolutionary, but it is good. It is fun, and its a great ride. Pretty much all the tracks are great listens. Standouts include, Beating Heart Baby, King Caeser, and The Razor. Check it out if you want a good dance album. Highly recomended.

I heard "Graduation Day" on TV and bought Popaganda, and then I bought this CD. Both are good, but this one is better. I like to listen to it when I'm mad about something...it makes me so...happy...
