"If Devo and Kraftwerk mated and made a family of lil' baby robots who grew up to be Slayer fans, you'd have something pretty close to Punch Drunk."

"Punch Drunk doesn't present ideas and wait for you to absorb them, they force-feed information whether you like it or not. This assault is not unintentional. It's a focused attempt to influence the audience by sheer speed and power of the performance."
