AMG Review of Imperial f.f.r.r. [Deluxe Edition]

Heather Phares
All Music Guide

Imperial f.f.r.r. is Unrest's full-length debut. It fleshes out the pop promise of their early singles, and expands on their pop and experimental background as well. "I Do Believe You Are Blushing," "Cherry Cream On," "Suki," "Isabel," and "June" are still some of the band's best songs, mixing high-energy guitars and subjects like girls and death to infectious effect. A near-perfect album of indie pop. [The deluxe edition includes nine tracks not included on the original U.S. release.]
