SSM likes to flirt and ''Break Your Arm For Evolution'' is not merely a title but an earnest philosophy: the endlessly catchy Daft Punk-meets-The Seeds of ''Déjà Vu'', the psychedelic kraut rock'n'roll of ''Regenerate Your Face'' transforms itself into the synth pop of ''Let's Make a Baby'', which metamorphoses into the indie alternative dance ''Start Dancing'' and quickly burst into the punk rock ''Emotional Tourist'', all the while challenging the traditional conventions of pop songwriting.
''It's common knowledge that you can't teach an old garage band new tricks. Or, at least I thought it was common knowledge that garage bands forever stayed in the garage, until I put on this new track by SSM, ''Start Dancing.'' On this number from their second album, SSM have updated a steadfastly rigid genre with a synthetic, robot groove that bridges the divide between Detroit's storied histories of techno and garage.''
