"With its evocative cover art (Pavement's Wowee Zowee anyone?), songwriting, production, and inspired performances, Yay! is a lighter, breezier side of Motorpsycho's persona that should delight fans of the band's early indie rock. But Yay! is not actually retro, nor less lyrically provocative or musically adventurous. It is, simply, the latest necessary creative gambit from these sonic psychonauts".
