Alternative PressThis should be among Perry's higher-profile efforts in some time, with production by Andrew WK, and guest appearances by everyone from Moby to Brian Chippendale of Lightning Bolt. [Oct 2008, p.150]
-
However nonsensical, Perry's rants remain entertaining, and despite its flaws, the album holds together from start to finish.
-
Repentance is a lot of fun.
-
MojoAgainst this highly contemporary but ever-wacko sonic backdrop, the Upsetter orates magisterially. [Sep 2008, p.98]
-
Repentance can be taken as prime party music, but if you dig deeper, it's much more rewarding.
-
Percolating tracks such as 'Pum Pum' and 'Chooga Cane' are more like undercooked, meandering jams than songs, mixing loose grooves and breezy synths as the profane Perry portrays a muttering old codger.
-
Trippy vocal distortions, rock guitar, and the either enlightening or bewilderingly entertaining lyrics create what the younger audience commonly refer to as “The Shit.”
