"This is Count Zero's second outing, their first being the brilliant "Affluenza". Robots Anonymous is a superb sophmore effort that shows great growth and expansion of dimension from the first album. I can say without a hint of hyperbole that there is not a bad song on Robots Anonymous. I think fans of Radiohead and any kind of modern progressive rock would really get off on this album. It really bears no particular resemblance to those two, yet it pushes many of the same musically connected emotional buttons. Peter Moore as the frontman is so versatile, it's scary at times. It's sometimes hard to tell that it's the same guy singing most of the songs (with the exception of Finnegan, sung by guitar enthusiast, Will Ragano), but this is a wonderful thing. Where else can one turn for an electronically fused rock song sung in the first person of two competing robots vying for the affection of a woman in a dating game context? I ask you. The subjects of the songs are truly worth reading the lyrics for, and the music, well, the music is inimitable and gets my vote for the most innovative rock music that has been made in the last 20 years.Buy this album. Good god. Buy it. As long as you have an open mind and like music, I guarantee you will like it."

"This is a cool album- heavy music with some interesting lyrics. These guys are really great live which adds credibilty to the studio work. The song Gogogo is great and if we lived in a world that was more hip, a world that saw POD, Limp Biskit and System of a Down for the .... that it is Gogogo would be a hit single. Do I detect a stab at the Eurotrash scene in it? It gets an extra star for that alone."
