Rolling Stone (5/11/00, p.131) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A sober, brutally visceral experience....This is one ball of aggression that hangs together, thanks to the band's smarts and funk. Just call XTRMNTR the BATTLE OF LONDON."
Q Mqagazine (3/00, p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...a darkly uncompromising and often difficult record: uneasy, sinister and, in layman's terms, a bloody racket....anyone with the first notion about rock'n'roll will catch thye whiff authentic mayhem here....as avant-garde as the mainstream gets..."
Mojo (2/00, p.87) - "...a continuation of that sub-basement tapes attitude, frayed memories of revolutionary music...crafted into a rare kind of discordant anti-pop malevolence....Brutal, aggressive [and] subterranean..."
NME (2/14/00, p.44) - "...obligatory, heavy, urban and set out to take the strain of a world at war with itself. Their finest music since SCREAMADELICA set an early high-water mark, and in dealable quantities, there was even jazz, too. Trrfc."
Alternative Press (5/00, p.75) - 4 out of 5 - "...a Baskin-Robbins shop that makes 31 flavors of amphetamine sulfate instead of ice cream: each flavor is totally wired and totally tasty..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/19/00, p.74) - "...Mixes thunderous big beats and red-alert synth squalls into a loose concept album that rails against political oppression and other evils....the U.K.'s most adventurous pop band-turned-white-noise addicts." - Rating: B+
CMJ (5/00, p.67) - "...They've ratcheted up the intensity quite a bit this time around....loud, kinetic bass and keyboards, a menacing mix of abrasive squeals, block-rockin' beats and post-'Blue Monday' electropop..."

    #2 Accerelatorは文句なしにカッコいい。 これはパンクではない。   とか言ってる方もいますが、本来パンクはサウンド上でのジャンルではなく、既成の体制を突き抜くアンチなわけだからその意味ではこのアルバムは間違いなくパンク。

    この衝撃、十年の時を経た現在、聴いても全く褪せることない。最高に攻撃的であり挑発的、最高にロックしてる熱い一枚。

    '00年発表。グラスゴーのギター・バンドとしてスタートし、幾度となく変節漢だの風見鶏だのと呼ばれながらも、ボビーとその仲間はこんなに遠くまで来てしまった。スリルとサスペンスにあふれたこの6枚目のアルバムのただならぬ緊張感に触れて見回すと、あたりはひとつの船影すら見えない大海原。あるいは孤高の地と言うべきか。もちろん「前作からさらにエレクトロニカに傾倒した」というような説明ができないわけではないが、これまでの彼らの変遷があったからこそ至った音であることは疑いようもない。憧れの音楽に向かって、あっちにフラフラ、こっちにフラフラしていたかに見えて、その旅は自分たちだけの音を求め、研ぎ澄ましていくプロセスだった。「スクリーマデリカ」のアシッドな陶酔が、「ギヴ・アウト〜」のオーガニックなグルーヴが、「バニシング・ポイント」のダビーな虚無的熱気が、すべて流れ込んだ本作は、なんでもアリに見えてプライマルでしかありえない純度の高さで胸を打つ。 「絶滅させる者」というタイトルどおり、陰惨でおどろおどろしい空気が全体を包む。激しく殺気立ったサウンドからは怒りが湧き上がらんばかり。NATOの空爆やドラッグなどについて歌った歌詞も然り。しかし、その根底には、自分の純粋な魂を守れ、つねに自分自身であれというボビーの一途な叫びがある。戦場のように描かれる舞台で
