“How unusual is it when one of the year’s most difficult records is also its most flagrantly pleasurable? The debut from the Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells is a mess of warring impulses — they want to simultaneously detonate the precision-cut production of pop-rap and rock production, while also abiding by all its basic rules. … Treats works as a kind of Anti-Tune to today’s dominant Auto-Tune. It’s filthy, audibly painful and it makes every wrong decision imaginable in the course of producing an album. It might also be the most delirious, joyful and defining album of 2010.” – August Brown, Los Angeles Times
