"Holy holy plah. I am not wont to write reviews, actually I tend to be blase'. I admit this CD hits the spot. I have been looking for something really really good in this genre. Voila pepper spray! T&TP is punk, electro, they have attitude/realness clearly from their own obviously insane creativity and not from soully an awareness of style. If I were snide I would say something like "if Fischerspooner were good and were more about content than style they would be T&TP". That said however, do not expect the same production value or diversity of song. This is truly in the punk/rock song vein but it's electro and thus rendered delicious. Ok I did not mean to dis Fischerspooner, I like FS but I like this CD much more. Talent and they know how to write a song and not just produce a dance track. Only complaint.. I hope their success enables them to purchase maybe one or two additional pieces of equipment and a bit more variation but of course not loose the lo-fi edge which is sinfully good like double chocolate rubbing on my parts.. heh heh. I am happy for weeks......"

"I cannot stress how good this album is. With the solid, constant arcade thumping, GREAT voice, and overall crispness... it's just really great. Think Mario music, except GOOD. It's just... it's really good. Buy it, you lunkhead. Like the other guy said, if you like Chicks On Speed, Le Tigre, etc, YOU'LL LOVE THIS. It's just an overall masterful production, a work of art in and of itself. Just really original, really great. It may take a little getting used to, but it's just bombastic fun for the converted."

"Like the CD says;
"Tracy means front in some language.
When people call TRACY! It's a call to the front...
Does that make any sense? Probably not, but that's Tracy and The Plastics For You!
Comprised of Tracy (the brain), Nikki and Cola. Tracy is four parts Queer manifesto, 3 parts Feminist Throwdown and the rest guts and glory. They're completely dancable and mindblowing. If you like groups like Le Tigre, Chicks On Speed and Peaches. You'll love Tracy."
