AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson
When American, British, Australian, and Irish music
lovers check out the Stockholm club scene, they often feel right at home
because so many Swedish artists sing in English exclusively. From jazz
and blues to heavy metal, goth rock, and dance-pop, countless Swedish
artists sing and write in English in the hope of getting some exposure
in English-speaking markets. And in many cases, Swedish artists have no
problem singing in perfect English. Listening to Day of the Robots,
you would never know that the members of the Robots grew up in a
country where Swedish is the primary language. The Robots sound like
they could be American or British, and they play their fast, forceful,
punk-minded garage rock/alternative rock with a lot of conviction. This
CD isn't innovative or groundbreaking, but it's definitely focused and
inspired; when the Swedes tear into loud-and-proud, riff-oriented
numbers like "Speedway Child," "Instant Asshole," and "Juju Man," their
enthusiasm is impossible to miss. While Day of the Robots isn't the most original album in the world, it always comes across as heartfelt.
