Aiding & Abetting : "It's really kind of amazing how muscular many of these songs are considering the lack of guitar. The keys fill in well enough, but mostly these guys survive on attitude alone. But hey, when you're as committed as Prizzy Prizzy Please, things tend to work out. This is hardly sophisticated or even accomplished music. But it's got enough energy and fury to power two suns. Awe-inspiring." - Jon Worley
Stereo Subversion Show Review : "Prizzy's song titles or subjects were moot points. "This song's about going to the zoo; that's fun," T. Fed declared at one point, only to "slow it down and do a love song" a bit later, and in decidedly Jack Black-esque fashion. Dare I say Prizzy Prizzy Please is bringing saxyback? Well, it's true. Even Britt Daniel appeared to gaze at this very-physical brand of rock. "The Spoons are next!" Prizzy's singer announced before they packed their bags. His humor was offbeat and perfectly matched with the tunes to come." - Jonathan Scott
Paper-Thin Walls Feature : "Prizzy Prizzy Please aren’t a dance-punk band so much as a band of hyperactive noise miscreants who can’t quite decide what genre will spark the most fun. The Bloomington, Indiana, boys’ debut album presents a little bit of funk here, some speed metal over there, a touch of ’80s power-pop on the other side… and smashes it all together with a nonsensical dada wallop." - Kristal Hawkins
Hybrid Magazine : "Prizzy Prizzy Please have a manic speed, even quicker wit, and busy music ideal for dancing, skating and pouring concrete; it's as satisfying as eating a sandwich while having sex, George Kostanza-style." - Ewan Wadharmi
Exclaim!, Canada's Music Authority : "Combining the mature art-punk of modern greats like Parts & Labor or Lightning Bolt with the goofy lyrics and sloppy production of your local basement punk band, Bloomington, IN’s Prizzy Prizzy Please have loaded their self-titled debut with anthems. Adding a saxophone to the standard bass, guitar, drums line-up, the songs build on a noisy foundation before the band add their hectic vocals. Opener “Shorgasm†develops into a chaotic post-punk classic with some rumbling Motörhead guitars, while “Too Many T-Shirts†adds harmonised gang vocals to its blast of sound. But it’s “Thundergust of Woodpeckers†that represents the record best, with its tapped guitar lead that climaxes with an arena-rock finale. Enthusiastically creative and unpretentious, Prizzy Prizzy Please could be your favourite new band whether you’re 13 or 30." - Josiah Hughes
Peacedogman.com feature and review : "The hyperactive collisions of jocular high-falsetto vocals, pounding drums, and smiley-face keyboards are loads of fun and insanely catchy in a BIG BOYS sort of way, even without a guitar player."
Daggerzine Short Review : "God…with a name like that you’re just asking me to slag your cd, aren’t you? Nutso mashup of too many styles here all going 100 mph. Then just when you think you have it all figured out, a blaring sax comings crashing into to ruin the whole party. Actually this is kinda fun and I’ll bet live they tear the roof off."
evilneedles.com : For fans of: What the fuck are you listening to? Dead Milkmen, Mr. Bungle, Tenacious D. Here's what it is: The jocks wont get it, your boyfriend wont get it, your friends wont get it, most of you reading wont get this one, but this spastic, hyperactive, saxophone driven indie/art punk album is a zany hip shaking jubilee of uncontrollable mirth and rhythm. It really doesn't sound like anything else. Its rapid playfulness is like a Romper Room crack fest. Please take a moment and listen to them on myspace.
Ball State University Daily News: "Prizzy Prizzy Please sound like what Fugazi would have sounded like if Ian McKaye were backed by members of Prince’s Revolution and Parliament on drugs — a relentlessly punky attack that defies any real characterization. Is Prizzy Prizzy Please a punk band or a funk band? At times they are neither, and at other times they are both. “Indefinite Suspension†lampoons Ron Artest, complete with a hysterical a capella breakdown and frenzied attack. Essentially, Prizzy Prizzy Please is as it chooses. Much like 1970s avant-punk/fusion/funk legends Pere Ubu, Prizzy Prizzy Please is self-aware and self-consciously weird, sometimes obtuse, but always entertaining." -Matt Erier
Slug Magazine : "Well, when listening to Prizzy Prizzy Please for the first time, the primary image in my head was Fozzie the Bear licking the wallpaper in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Why? Hard to say. It just seems like a sport-on soundtrack for such an event. For the most part, the initial sampling just made me hyper and hungry for pixie sticks. However, the first impression of a screamer pop metal band proved superficial when a grab bag of quirks surfaced with each new listen." - Jessie Price
