It is, quite simply, one of the essential albums of the year.
-
It's so overwhelmingly happy and thrilling a musical statement that it would justify even a few more exclamation points.

Thunder, Lightning, Strike is for people who love music that hits them over the head with the sheer enjoyment of the human ability to rock.
-
"Thunder, Lightning, Strike" is an immensely derivative album, but one which cuts and pastes its influences in a strikingly original way. Chiefly, by piling them all on at once.
-
It’s all tons of fun, and is almost guaranteed to cheer you up with its overwhelming chirpiness.
