Real friggin hip by IRate  2 Stars

2 1/2
Pseudo-edgy indie rock experimentation only works when this band is in strict focus of its often repetitiously vacant doodling.

A wonderfully tight ball of post-punk tension by Aaron Burgess (Round Rock, TX, USA)  4 Stars
August 09, 2006
Snaking through the same grimy halls previously tread by the Fall, Moonshake, "Metal Box"-era PiL and James Plotkin's Flux project (see the tense, angular opener, "Essence of Cessna"), Prolapse's third U.S. album (and fourth overall) emerges as more than just a linkage of post-punk influences. Less angular than 1996's "Backsaturday," more sexy than 1998's "The Italian Flag," "Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes" finds the Leicester, England, group in a somewhat dubbed-out, clearly late-'90s mode, their tension, sensuality and textural beauty both stretched out and magnified. Of course the old Prolapse are still banging away here (the lengthy, riotous "Cylinders V12 Beats Cylinders 8"), as are the trademark twin vocals of Mick Derrick (the snotty one) and Linda Steelyard (the emotionally detached one). While Derrick snorts and rants over tracks like "One Illness" and the cyclonic "Government of Spain," Steelyard uses her composure as counterpoint. Meanwhile the music whirls and seethes around the unlikely pair, its G (as in "groove") Force keeping them trapped together in the hurricane's eye. Not only is the resulting tension sexual; it's personal, political ("Spain"), and uncomfortably psychological ("After After").

A great record to jump around to and rant along with. by Skygazer (Brooklyn, NY USA)  5 Stars
November 05, 2000
Pretend there's a dark and vibrant underground scene exploding with energy. Guitars haven't sounded this good in a while. PIL and the Fall of course, but it's more up to date than that and there's a strong undercurrent of spaced out dissonant hypnotic sound pinning the whole thing down and so satisfying. Good artistry, w/smart and fascinating lyrics from both the lovely female voice and the male vocals all prickly scottish rant elevated to mantra like incantations sounding pretty fookin close to classic making me wish Mark E. Smith could still do this sorta thing. I cannot stop listening to this especially on me bleedin headphones. When they coming round here yo?

refreshingly energetic 5 Stars

Prolapse has the stuff... The sugarcubes had it, and the Pixies had it. Now it's Prolapse in the spotlight of inovation, moving male and female vocals, juxtaposed lyrics, and contrasting emotions. Keep your ears and mind open and Prolapse will bless you. You may not realize their genius at first listen, but once Prolapse's sound wins your favor you'll never want to part with this or any of their albums.
