| | Pleasure Forever: Alter: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) |
 | | Pleasure Forever's Alter boasts one of the more inane covers I've seen: three suited men with carefully gelled hair cluster in the center of a white, columned room, encircled by a string of blood-red roses. |
 | | There's a little bit of the grown-men-standing-in-a-circle-of-roses to their sound-- these are opulent, dark, glammy songs, tugged around by cabaret-style piano lines-- but Pleasure Forever are also a fine, thrashing rock band with some heavily distorted guitar and lots of rough, lecherous vocals. |
 | | Each of Alter's twelve tracks are structurally slippery, shifting seamlessly from style to style in a way that makes it almost impossible to accurately map their paths. |
