Similar, but not the same as Unit - the previous album to this. Again, it is eclectic - a real mixture, and like the last album, sounds like a different band for each song. Think of Odelay (Beck) - its the same thing here. Lots of styles in one album. And like the previous album Unit, it is very well put together, and very talented. It got to No 2 in the Oz charts - higher than Unit (which got to No. 5). But to be honest - I can't pick my favorite one - I like both equally.
Some fans didn't like this as much as the previous, and labeled it as the 'commercialized' album. But this is the album that got me into Regurgitator, and if you listen to it, you'd wonder what is commercialized about it. Especially when at least one song is questioning areas of the music industry. The album is simply excellent.
It is a shame Regurgitator haven't broken into the UK market. They really should have done. Dani Minogue got a listen here, but not Regurgitator, and that is a shame; musical talent wasn't enough.
I am sure, like Odelay, Art, as well as Unit, will become a modern classics.

A challenge that comes off
3 Dec 1999
Format:Audio CD
Regurgitator are more true to their name than ever in this brilliant display of the band's musical knowledge and ability. Virtually every track throws down a new challenge both to the artists themselves and the listener. From the Ian Dury-esque "I like repetitive music" to the 80s retro pop "the lonely guy", Quan and Ben consistently tease out the musical threads that bind together the musical psyche of Generation X music lovers in Australia. This results in what at first can seem like an incredible ragbag of different sounds, but the underlying theme is clear: subversion. Buy it.

I love the 'Tator!
24 Aug 2001
Format:Audio CD
I adore Regurgitator!!!! I loved Tu Plang and Unit, but I think Regurgitator's crowning achievement (thus far) is certainly Art. There isn't a bad song on this album! It starts out with one of the most jubilant songs I've ever heard and ends with a gentle whisper...the remix of the "Are You Being Served?" song is especially wonderful, but my favourite is "Strange Human Being". Here's hoping Eduardo & Rodriguez is equally fab-oo! Yay for Australia's music industry, and yay to my Aussie friend for introducing me to this great, great band!

Better, Faster, Leaner
2 Nov 2000
Format:Audio CD
I keep meeting dull people who say that Regurgitator just aren't that good anymore. I listen to that first album and hear loads of potential but UNIT and now ART built on that early promise and now they're probably one of the funniest, most intelligent and most beautifully produced bands in Australia. Check out the first 30 seconds of track one, Happiness, thrill to the strings, the guitars and the drums. You'll be levitating. The rest is just as good and the album grows. Five big fat stars.
