Alternative Press (8/02, p.84) - 8 out of 10 - "...LOUDBOXER revisits stark, pounding techno at a moment when the genre's fallen from favor, in the process revitalizing the form...the album's a celebration of rhythm."
CMJ (6/3/02, p.5) - "...Further updates his revolutionary sound...the first 6 tracks offer intelligent, minimalist techno beats with tempestuous atmospheres, while the second portion is dancefloor devastation at its best..."

Abandoning the high-IQ experimental-techno of his last two NovaMute records, Speedy J turned in a surprisingly straight-ahead collection of pummeling techno, boasting more in common with a Richie Hawtin mix set than the latest Autechre LP. Loudboxer is also much less track-based than either A Shocking Hobby or Public Energy No. 1. In fact, he's often content to simply bash away track after track of hard Detroit techno until peaking near the end with a live version of "Krikc" (which comes complete with audience screaming akin to a roller-coaster ride). Though Speedy J does pure techno as good as he did his earlier experimental productions, it's a shame he's gotten back to the kind of tracks that DJ Hyperactive could be knocking out in his sleep. ~ John Bush

かつてリッチー・ホウティンのレーベル、+8を中心にハードなインテリジェント・テクノを連発し、人気を博していたスピーディーJが久々の新作をリリース。CDはライヴを1曲含めた(これが異常な盛り上がり)15曲ノンストップ、ディープなトラックが続く前半から後半へ向けてダークかつハードなミニマルにビルドアップしていく練られた構成。そして特筆すべきはアナログがなんと2枚組で200本のループのみ!! 硬派ですな。
