The Line Of Best Fit
There’s a playfulness and sense of humour here that is all too rare in the world of experimental / noise / avant-garde music, a childlike glee unique to Black Dice that I find utterly infectious

Songs are built on catchy and noisy twisted riff repetition, wacky vocal tomfoolery and jerky killer beats

Will Black Dice still fill their shows with energetic improvisation, or is this album our introduction to a slick dance-oriented party band?

Mr. Impossible accomplishes the improbable: being more accessible and more alienating at the same time

As bewilderingly little logic as Black Dice’s rave collages contain, they’re nailing something close to unique

It’s good that Black Dice exist, and Mr Impossible is by no means a bad album. I just wish it lived up to its noise terror potential

Does any of Mr Impossible make sense? Not particularly. Is it an enjoyable listen? Sometimes, but all too often Black Dice’s forays into the realm of the irritating make for an infuriating experience

Most of this album sounds like the neverending agony of a dying keyboard, a broken drum machine and sampled vocals compressed to the point you can’t understand a single word
