From Spill Magazine:
WARNING: May cause extreme giddiness and/or agitation, the urge to rip ones hair out or someone elses, severe heart palpitations and most defiantly the urge to cause immediate destruction. If you are taking any medications for the heart, mind, body or soul, listen to this album on low or not at all. Otherwise, proceed with caution. Wow, is all I can say and keep saying while I listen to this album, a second for the foursome who are heavy on keyboards, synthesizers and polka dots. Their sound is defiantly odd with a pungent taste of electronica on overload, especially heard on the first track, Deciduous Prophet and the third, Caught On Tape. The former sounds like a sped-up version of the South Park theme song with a little Tetris thrown in for good (?) measure. After awhile, the hyper-mania grows on you and while you want to do something wild and illegal, youre sitting there trying figure out if these guys are putting you on by how odd they seem, or if they just are. It seems like a clever business ploy because weirder is better, but youll never know because who are they to tell you. And for that, I like them; when they arent inducing seizures in listeners and dodging questions. For instance, after searching online for an answer I found their Myspace page and asked them precisely why they were banned from Canada during their 2005 tour in May, for one whole year. Zoms Frenchman, the plastic drummer of the group responded with, "Mounties have it out for us. We're just that good." Whatever, dude.

From InSite Magazine:
Zom Zoms Yellow Rainbow is a bizarre ride to the far side, and appropriately brief at under 28 minutes. At first listen, I couldnt help but compare it to a personal favorite, 2004s One Brain. But I listened again, and again...and I have a hunch this will become the highlight and turning point in the career of a band you will either love or hate. The band has evolved significantly since their debut CD in 2003. According to the vocalist Zom Philmapster, a retired encyclopedia salesman, Before [Lumbobas Tube] we were a pretend band. These two pizza delivery guys who share a strikingly similar name continued to revel in absurdity, and it is especially auspicious in Yellow Rainbow. Deciduous Prophet starts the ride somewhere over the rainbow at a fast pace, and makes environmental extremists appear reserved in behavior. The album leads to paranoia-inducing loops with twisted tracks like Caught on Tape and Strange Floating Woolen Jaw. The title track is disturbingly bleak lyrical imagery set to a frenetic polka dotted dance beat: Forty-four minutes in the sun/your retina will come undone, and Visions fading, hungers gaining, health degrading... death is waiting. Zom Philmpasters explosive Kabuki Theatre meets hideous melodrama vocals are still jawdropping, and his Devo(tional) tatttooed cousin Phil Philpmapster plunks out some of the quirkiest notes Ive ever heard. Comparisons to SnakeFinger, The Residents, and of course Devo will inevitably be made, but this foursome is proving to be more than a fad. You can purchase this zolocoaster ride at local record stores like End of an Ear or Waterloo Records, or @ tubezomzoms.com. (Deans List) DW

From ADD Reviews
More wonderful synth-heavy absurdity from the Zom Zoms. Their name upside down spells Swoz Woz.

Zom Zoms Yellow Rainbow (Omega Point)
Utterly lunatic (not to mention manic) electronic pop. Zom Zoms don't vary from the formula they've set down in the past: Play warped melodies very fast and hope the faux-heroic vocals can keep up. Lots and lots of fun.

From: The Chicken Fish Speaks
Zom Zoms - Yellow Rainbow - CD
(Omega Point Records) There's a very strong Devo influence on this synth intensive band. There's also a hint of the cult band Residents in the songs as well. The release starts off good enough with synth work that recalls earlier XBXRX coupled with a Devo lyric and vocal style. My biggest problem is that as the CD progresses the band starts to focus too much on the quirkiness of their style and vocals instead of writing good songs. This ended up turning the band into nothing more than a novelty act.

Wow, first review and it is FANTASTIC!
Thanks Blake!
"Zom Zoms

Yellow Rainbow

According to Myspace, this band began in Austin, TX when two fellows met while delivering pizza, one named Zom, the other named Zoms. Zom Zoms are another in the countless wave of bands sucking the remaining TAB Cola of American 80s culture dry. Here is their 2006 release Yellow Rainbow, which couldnt be more annoying.  Like a Super 8-bit Brothers on ADD set in a padded cell around the listener, the band manages to make me throw my headphones off in just under 28 minutes, a new world record I believe. What the new Aquabats record has done well, Zoms Zoms s spastically unnerving dependence on an almost all synthesized backdrop leaves the uncomplimentary vocals even more hopeless.  The singer, Zom Philmapster, vocalizes like a theater major dropout who only ever saw plays Off Broadway. The repetition of off kilter lyrics in various pitches doesnt serve well to the aural cavities either, in fact, its almost ear-bleeding. The words themselves are more abstruse and random than an anthology of Kurt Cobain lyrical esoterica. The problem with the Zom Zom however, doesnt just lie in their noncompliance with being in close relation to anything remotely appealing; its their futile efforts at being the next Devo, the next Depeche Mode, the next Cure.whatever, you get my point. Frankly, they are trying extremely too hard at emulating a sound that has become contrived, and arent even doing it well. Track 8 even has this strange reference to Family Guy as the singer proceeds to say Giggitygiggitygiggity. Please cease and desist, Zom Zoms, your Billy Talent singer and your sole reliance on Robert Moog is laughable. You want to be like the Mothersbaugh brothers? Take out your pad and pencil, go to Japan, attend a Polysics concert. Take notes fervently. Now go back 3 years and try this again when the resurgence of square leads first began. Until then, some people in Texas are really missing some pizza. 4/10"
