"Classics" remains resolutely instrumental- but the band has introduced a wealth of new sounds from acoustic and slide guitar to sleigh bells and cello. Their vastly improved production and writing makes this record a refinement of their art. "Ratatat lay squealing metal harmonies over choppy Neptunes-style dance thumps then break into pastoral waves of keyboard tone riding dub tempos and hip-hop struts. They're crotch-pumping arena pimps and introverted minimalists..." - Blender. "Stroud and Mast have come up with some catchy melodies over light snappy bass lines in what sounds like something tailored for the headphones" - Urb. The band has toured with Interpol the Killers Franz Ferdinand the Stills and Mouse on Mars. - - Main Version - E*Vax Remix - Main Version - Guitar Instrumental - Drum Instrumental - Loud Pipes - Kennedy - Swisha - Nostrand - Tacobel Canon
