What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVariety is raving about the Avalanches, the Australian sampling band, whose new album, No Bad Memories, is called another sample-delic pop masterpiece.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTheir debut, Since I Lost You, landed in two thousand like a mind-melting leap forward, and the critic compares it to the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI adore this review.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI adore it more. Making a whole album out of other people's old records is the most generous thing a band can do.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGenerous? They went through every dusty bargain bin on earth and came out with a masterpiece.

6.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's the kind of album you need to hear from start to finish, no skipping around.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd stream it twice. Skip, what has the field handed you this time, a masterpiece or a puddle?
