"Lacking relevance to current trends isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the lack of focus and force on Volume X, the unkillable band's unsatisfying tenth full-length, doesn't help their cause. One of Trans Am's stocks in trade, new-wave pastiche, is represented in a halfhearted fashion this time around. New-wave means a lot of things to a lot of people, but in Trans Am's case, that meaning has always been narrow and rigid: synth-pop of the icy, Kratfwerk-ian extraction".

"Volume X certainly appears to have more than enough subtle moments and hidden delights to ensure its longevity. Trans Am are a band who, in a quarter century together, have never shown any sign that they're happy to keep ploughing the same furrow. To complain about them not repeating they what did before seems downright churlish".
