Reception
Quasi-Objects has received mixed reviews from music critics.
AllMusic's Sean Cooper called the album "both an improvement [on Matmos'
self-titled debut] and a disappointment", with the musicians letting "the schtick of let's-make-tracks-entirely-out-of-weird-noises get the better of their aesthetic judgement."[1]Pitchfork Media's Mark Richard-San similarly described the album as "too reliant on novelty", and thought that its central gimmick "smothered the music."[2]
