On Thunder, Lightning, Strike, The Go! Team have created a style all their own. It's fast, upbeat, and filled with a feeling of pure, over-the-top joy not unlike what you'd expect at a good sports game. At the same time, it's tempered with feelings of nostalgia created by musical elements that feel like they come from the late 60's and early 70's. The only real flaw of this album is that some of the songs sound similar to each other. Considering that the music on this album defies most genre labels (except dance, I guess), a little similarity between songs can be forgiven. Thunder, Lightning, Strike is immensely enjoyable and because of it, I think that The Go! Team will not remain unknown in the U.S. for long.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
