Piero Scaruffi	(6.5/10)

• allmusic (Johnny Loftus) - "On this [album], !!! trash the axiom that says bands influenced by angular post-punk must be populated by dour misanthropes who sport wallet photos of Ian Curtis. Highly recommended."
• Piero Scaruffi - "[!!! contains] the convoluted funk a` la Contortions of 'The Step', the obsessively vulgar and repetitive 'Kookooka Fuk-U', the nine-minute 'There's No Fucking Rules Dude', that is more of an atmospheric piece than a purely edonistic dance, contaminated with psychedelic, hip-hop, dissonant and ska elements, the relentless mutating funk machine of 'Intensify', and the gargantuan electronic counterpoint of 'Feel Good Hit Of The Fall'."
