No passion all technique

"Overall, the album leads you into something resembling a drug haze, an oddly happy-go-lucky feeling with plenty of friends to keep you from feeling alone and without booze, clean underwear or socks. It's a blessing it's finally been given a wide release; this is an album that deserves to come out of the cupboard and into the spotlight".

"There's a difference between over-examining and re-examining; the latter is useful for better understanding an artist's starting point, with time and context. That's exactly why the reissue of Protomartyr's 2012 debut, No Passion All Technique, which also includes three songs from their Dreads 85 84 seven-inch, should be seen as an opportunity to look back and appreciate what was, with the added knowledge of what will (or has) become".

"Although Protomartyr's debut album takes several Detroit reference points in its stride, it's more than "a Detroit record": Their characters aren't hollow archetypes, but people with ideas, struggles, and stories set to dextrously played speed punk, psych melodies, and gentle fingerpicking".
