'When my needle set down on Brainiac, I was hit with a solid brick wall of sound. I gotta admit, these boys have got some super-energetic pop with punk intensity, yet they escape actually being punk. Kind of like the first couple of Who albums way back when. As stinging and memorable as a case of the clap!" - Music Paper

"Hot on the heels of their ultra-successful full-length debut comes these two happy chunks of hook 'n' harmony hyper-pop from a band who plays as if their only mission in life is to entertain you." - Aquarian Weekly

"Even though neither song is longer than 2:18, what they lack in time is made up for in all other areas: it's punk rock with a sense of humor - one of the few things that makes life worth living! Great packaging, great vocals, great lyrics and all this on pink vinyl! And, oh yeah, the playing's good, too." - Musicians' Exchange

"Ruth Ruth play excellent power pop punk with excellent emoish vocals. The pay homage to their 70s punk influences while keeping their heads planted in the 90's." - Rational Inquirer

Brainiac my uncle george had a great dane. who chewed a paw off in connecticut. when i walk into a room i'm not afraid to feel feminine. i've never done heroin i've never done much of that. and though i may appear likable. i'm merely trying to remember i'm not on fire. oh no mom my collar bone again. my father took me mountain climbing. i've got a picture to show to you. my grandma lived in florida and her front lawn hurt my bare feet. i've never tried to kill a cricket with a firecracker on the fourth of july. i've never done much of anything that didn't have productive quality. what a goddamn liar. even though you taught me to love my body. even though i'll never be italian. i won't forget. people who act confident go far. i've got a brain in my head. it may not be your imagination. if you think i'm looking at you with contempt. i wish it could be different. but occasionally i'm cruel. i get down. i can't help but think i've long buried. a horrible childhood memory. and why do i keep on dreaming. about the queen of fourth grade cheryl englehart. and what i lack in aphrodisiac. i think i make up for in appetite. i'm a young john wayne. even though you fuck me on my birthday. even though i'm an advocate of hygiene. i won't forget. people who act confident go far. i've got a brain in my head. even though you make my bed like mom did. even though i really don't know how to be a friend. i won't forget. people who act confident go far. i've got a brain in my head Love Potion No. 10 i'm afraid. i'm afraid. i don't like you. don't come near me. leave me alone. i'm afraid. i feel creepy. when you hold me. i pretend i love you. when oh my god i'm afraid. you've got everything a man could want. you're even rich and beautiful. but i can't put my finger on. why i freak out every time. you touch me in the dark
