	Broadcast: Haha Sound (2003): Reviews
		Haha Sound may not be Broadcast's most superficially perfect album, but it's a more challenging and exciting one because of its deliberate imperfections.
		It seems that with HaHa Sound, Broadcast is subtly developing a personal aesthetic, assimilating all that comes across their path but rarely allowing the elements to overwhelm their on ideas.
		Haha Sound’s music is always competent, and often worthy of Broadcast’s debut album, but it’s disconcerting to see a band repeat a simple formula with such devotion.

	Broadcast: Haha Sound: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Haha Sound is a sharp turn from Broadcast's debut full-length, The Noise Made by People, and their early singles (collected on 1997's Work and Non-Work).
		Keenan's opening confession and request, "I am gray/ Still on the page/ Colour me in," is heeded over the course of the record by her bandmates as her detached vocals and fragile melodies are accompanied by a carnival of vintage electronics and sometimes-cacophonous sheets of polyrhythms.
		Fortunately, however, Haha Sound is compelling right from the word go, thanks to the leftfield Big Top melody of "Colour Me In"-- perhaps the band's most overt homage to their unofficial patron saints, 60s psych-pop group The United States of America-- and the propulsive "Pendulum".

	Haha Sound \| The A.V. Club
		Singer Trish Keenan says as much on Haha Sound's first song, in which she deadpans "I am gray, still I'm okay, so color me in." But she hardly sounds like she means it.
		Haha Sound is lighter than 2000's The Noise Made By People, but it's still in tune with psychedelia's eerie squeeze.
		Distant but far from stoic, she sounds less like a patched-in effect than a grounding agent set to reel in the band, which swirls and creaks all around her.

	Broadcast - Tender Buttons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		I found Haha Sound much denser and heavier going than the stuff on the first two records, I think I always want Broadcast to be this immaculate cool zero-gravity spacepop thing and the non-Pendulum tracks on the Pendulum EP worried me due to being noodly and dense and a bit avant-freeform-squonky.
		'haha sound' is pretty much four seasons in one album though - 'Colour Me In' a perfect ode to Spring and the subsequent tracks forming a path from there to the bleak winterland that is 'Hawk' - feels like a rigid linear procession in that sense, though many describe them as generally Autumnal.
		I think haha sound is an excellent album and I really like that whole billowing electronic psych sound while I'm listening to it, but I find a lot of it doesn't stick.

		birmingham's notorious perfectionists make a welcome return after three relatively quiet years, and it sounds like the time away has done them a world of good.
		if their new album, haha sound, doesn't redress this, nothing will.
		the bracing and deserved first single, "pendulum", adds a little motorik pulse to the proceedings and it's clear just how alive and thrilling forty year old sounds can still be in capable hands.

	BROADCAST - HaHa Sound (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		‘HaHa Sound’ is Broadcast’s 2nd album and continues their penchant for moody, unsettling pop songs with quirky, leftfield properties.
		However, I would have to say that ‘HaHa Sound’ is a largely disappointing release up until its closing reprise, with the excellent ‘Winter Now’ and my favourite track on the album, the closing ‘Hawk’.
		It will interesting to see how Broadcast follow this up though, as their sound is so heavily stylised there seems to be very little room for manoeuvre.

	Broadcast - Haha Sound - Review - Stylus Magazine
		As for the quality of Haha Sound’s material, most of the songs are about on par with those on The Noise Made by People, if slightly worse.
		Haha Sound remains a second edition of The Noise Made by People, even when considering its occasional differences, which will hopefully solidify into something real by the band’s next release.
		Haha Sound is an adequate follow-up to The Noise Made by People, and if you loved that album, you’ll love this one.

	Broadcast: HaHa Sound - PopMatters Music Review
		They sound like they were recorded through two soup cans connected by a string, never once rising to the level of being there.
		I spent most of the time listening to HaHa Sound with my eyes squinched tightly, the same expression I have on my face when the dentist is working a decayed molar with that drill that smells like burnt scrambled eggs.
		At the end of HaHa Sound, I couldn't help but think it sounds like a bunch of Ph.D. students who were afraid their friends wouldn't be impressed with a Dusty Springfield record.

	Broadcast - Pendulum, Haha Sound Review
		Now, Haha Sound is their sophomore full-length album, following their EP earlier this year, Pendulum.
		Haha Sound fits right into the Pendulum style of music but manages to keep moving forward.
		Haha Sound is one of those albums that would only get a 3 star rating if you only listened to it a couple of times but after repeated listens it easily garners a 4.5.

	FFWD Weekly - September 11, 2003
		With Haha Sound, however, Broadcast have graduated from the school of Stereolab, moved into a swank new pad all of their own across town, and occasionally even let the machine pick up when their old bosses call in.
		The most impressive aspect of Haha Sound is just how much of it there is – every moment sounds like thousands of instruments playing dozens of melodies, all battling for centre stage.
		While it’s still a little bit early to proclaim that the students have become the teachers, at least Haha Sound lets Broadcast stand alongside their earlier patron saints as equals.

	Tiny Mix Tapes Reviews: Broadcast Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Despite these pitfalls and tragedies, the band still manages to name their album HaHa Sound, showing that they really are the troopers you thought they were.
		When you compare this album to their previous work, it is like they moved their studio to a grassy knoll in the park (somewhere sunny, not Birmingham) and ate picnics everyday while producing (exaggeration factor=3).
		Each track is creative enough to sound like it could be on a different album, some even from a different group.

	HAHA SOUND - BROADCAST - HAHA SOUND - WARP - -
		Indeed, while it's been three long years since their previous album "The Noise Made By People" blinked in the daylight, the time has been occupied judiciously and "HaHa Sound" is testament to this Brum trio's studio-based diligence.
		So, yeah, Krautrock's obviously still big round Broadcast's house, but that's not the entire plot writ large, as elsewhere their muse drifts happily into areas for which the term 'cinematic' was surely coined.
		"HaHa Sound" is a beautifully-realised, gently seductive album that grows in stature with repeated plays.

	Haha Sound Broadcast Review Alternative Music @ Eclectic Honey.com
		Man is not a Bird houses some extremely impressive percussive precision, and Ominous Cloud is equal to their finest moments from their back catalogue such as The Book Lovers and Paper Cuts.
		Broadcast is about far more than just Keenan’s voice though; even the instrumentals on Haha sound are engaging, with Distortion working particularly well as a fusion of retro rhythms and futuristic whirlwinds.
		Although it’s not quite ‘Ha Ha’ Sound, it is enough sometimes to draw a hopeful smile from the listener, which ultimately is one of the greatest gifts that Broadcast bestow.

	Opus // Opus Updates // New Goodies...
		Broadcast - Pendulum One of the things that I noted in my review of Broadcast's Haha Sound (one of fave recordings from last year) was far more focused than their previous releases, less prone to diverge into extended knob-twiddling and harsher noises and sounds.
		However, to these ears, it sounds like the band has pretty successfully melded their recent glitch leanings with the more pastoral, expansive sound of previous releases such as The Cycle Of Days And Seasons and the aptly-titled Rustic Houses, Forlorn Valleys.
		Bresson's use of sound is also worth noting, as the offscreen sounds often suggest a whole other world existing just beyond the scope of the camera, further adding to the sickly and naive priest's sense of suffering and alienation.

	MusShell / Audio Shells / Album
		While their music still sounds like it could've been crafted by ghosts in the machine, now Broadcast give it flesh and blood through more warmth and texture.
		The rest of Haha Sound more or less follows in the footsteps of these songs, but the variety that the band instills in the album makes it far from monotonous.
		A big part of Haha Sound's expansive feel is Trish Keenan's increasingly expressive vocals; while she can still occasionally seem to be hovering slightly outside the songs, her delivery is much more vulnerable and emotive.

		Previewed last month by 'The Pendulum EP' which, bar the glorious title track, felt and fell a little short of a wondrous return, 'HaHa Sound' is a truly stunning, beautiful album.

	* Dusted Reviews - Broadcast *
		HaHa Sound lives up to the expectations established by their debut full-length, The Noise Made by People and squashes Broadcast’s reputation as Stereolab Jr., seeing as the 'Lab has operated on auto-pilot since Dots and Loops.
		A song like "Man is Not a Bird" slowly builds from a straight, 4/4 drumbeat and morphs into a marching band-infected seabed of reverberated poly-rhythms allowing for Trish Keenan's cooed and detached siren vocals and Roj Stevens' lulling keyboard parts to serve as the melodic fulcrum.
		What makes HaHa enjoyable, however, and what many of the band's contemporaries have forgotten is how to walk the tight rope between influence and irony.

	Opus // Music Reviews // Broadcast - Haha Sound
		The band's synths sound as soft and ephemeral as a gentle snowfall, creating a strange and wintry dreamland through which Trish's sighing voice eerily floats.
		On "Man Is Not The Bird", the band's eerie, elegaic sound provides a stirring contrast to the defiant words of the chorus ("I will not lament with the sky/No longer feel night on the inside").
		Despite Broadcast's music often sounding abstract and unemotional, like Stereolab being covered by the robot cast of some bizarre 60s British sci-fi show (I'd love to hear their take on the "Doctor Who" theme), there's a strangely human quality to their music.

		If you thought Haha Sound was a sonic mess, you might want to bring a Dust Buster with you for your first go with Tender Buttons.

	BROADCAST Haha Sound
		Mostly recorded at Cargill’s house towards the end of last year, Haha Sound arrives hot on the heels of Pendulum, first EP in two and a half years, and a string of live dates in the USA and Europe.
		The album opens with the short and poetic Colour Me In, on which Trish’s voice appear as bitter-sweet as ever on a bed of old-fashioned electronic noises, before heading down to business with the magnificent Pendulum, already held by some as one of their best songs to date.
		Fruit of a much less complicated creative process, Haha Sound is far more opened and airy than its predecessor, demonstrating that Broadcast can also have some fun.

	Broadcast - HaHa Sound - Review
		As a whole, it sort of sounded like the work of a group who was figuring out their particular sound, but it worked for the most part and marked the group as ones to keep an eye on.
		With HaHa Sound, it feels like the group has finally come into their own, and I have to commend them for moving in a direction that's even more weird than I expected.
		I compared the trio to both Laika and Pram in my review for their last album, and while some of that could still be said, Broadcast has carved out a weird little realm of all their own.

	The LARRY Page: Music Special 2003: Top 25 Albums (#10-#1)
		Haha Sound is the score to all your bizarro dreams, performed with joyous synthesizers and childlike glee.
		But on each track, their carefree, summer tunes are sprinkled with somber horns, jangly percussion and sometimes full-on disordered orchestras.
		Perhaps what separates The Decemberists from the Elephant 6 band is that their tone is much milder, and in effect, it comes off a little more genuine and a little less contrived.

	Treble: Broadcast - haha Sound (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Their latest release, haha Sound, is another step forward for the British trio.
		Where Noise's sound had more jagged edges, haha is a much dreamier affair, upping the reverb even more and wrapping everything in a heady gauze of sound.
		Where analog synths once dictated the sound, Broadcast's newest creation is much more reliant on white noise and woozy samples, which, strangely enough, add a sense of childlike melodicism to the mix.
