Calgary Sun: "Robot Power Wins"


Mike Bell from The Calgary Sun gives the album this review:

IMA ROBOT — Ima Robot
Robot power wins

"Get it? Ima Robot?
Obvious, sure, but even the blatantly obvious can give you a cheap tawdry thrill ’n’ giggle — much like the music of this ragtag team of session musicians.

Ima Robot give it up in a late ’70s, early ’80s electro-pop rock amphetamine that five-finger discounts the sounds of acts such as the Undertones, Bowie, OMD, The Swingers, Pink Floyd, Mental As Anything, Adam and the Ants, Public Image Limited, Devo, Gary Numan, X-Ray Spex and a cast of a million more.

But the expert patchwork job on tracks such as the hopped-up A is For Action, the gutter-glammy Dirty Life, the Pop Goes the World-introed Philosophee, and the instant classic Black Jettas that closes out the disc, is done so expertly and with such a sense of joie-de-who-cares that it becomes a sound and a world unto its own.

Familiar, obvious, but so wonderfully full of good cheer and better vibes that the world of Ima Robot is one that’s almost impossible to not get drawn into."
