Wow. Upon first hearing The Avalanches’ debut full-length Since I Left You , I nearly parked my minivan on the shoulder, turned on the emergency lights for style, and got out to shake my booty. No joke. This is one of those rare ...more
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Quite possibly the best sample record ever made. ...more
Pitchfork
The Avalanches have managed to build a totally unique context for all these sounds, while still allowing each to retain its own distinct flavor. As a result, Since I Left You sounds like nothing else. ...more
Yahoo! Music
The Avalanches are a six-piece Australian outfit made up of multi-instrumentalists and championship DJs, who've been the name to drop (yawn) in dance circles after their remixes for Badly Drawn Boy and Manic Street Preachers. This debut album has gone ...more
Dot Music
'Since I Left You' is nothing short of stunning.... There's more imagination in this hour-long odyssey than most sample-based artists manage in their entire career. Not since DJ Shadow's 'Endtroducing' has an album showed what you really can do with a ...more

Ink Blot Magazine
It's a kaleidoscopic ode to the joy of music, and it's the most exciting debut album since Mos Def's Black on Both Sides. ...more
PopMatters
A charming, witty pastiche of mashed up samples, beats, bangs, and bobs.... Truly a breakthrough in the world of dance music. ...more
New Musical Express
'Since I Left You' is proof that while being a vinyl junkie might not make you a teen idol, crafting a joyous, kaleidoscopic masterpiece of sun-kissed disco-pop definitely will.... Cool? Sure, whatever. Brilliant? Undoubtedly. ...more
All Music Guide
There's little doubt to Since I Left You's status as one of the most intimate and emotional dance records that isn't vocal-based. ...more
Almost Cool
It obviously has its high points and moments that drift a little more, but The Avalanches are definitely onto something with the release. ...more
Billboard
That smile will have a difficult time leaving your face. ...more
nme.com
When The Avalanches were interviewed by NME a couple of weeks ago, they balked at suggestions they were the coolest band in the world. 'Since I Left You' is, after all, an album constructed from hundreds of snippets of obscure songs no-one's ever ...more
All Music Guide
Endless summers for many youths don't consist of beaches and surfboards. Instead, they're spent on blacktops and jungle gyms. More gritty and halfway between the curb and the hoop than anything celestial, the Avalanches remind you of a point in ...more
Austin Chronicle
Since I Left You is as much of a revelation now as Primal Scream's life-changing Screamadelica was a decade ago. ...more
Almost Cool
After hearing about this release several months ago, I was intrigued. Supposedly, the group started out with something like 900 samples and honed it down from there, still leaving enough so that samples credited are in eye-bleeding font size. ...more
