Composition Edit

Pitchfork critic Claire Lobenfeld, described the style of The Noise Made by People as a homage of 1960s psychedelic pop;[2] meanwhile, Carlene Bauer of Salon characterised it as "electronic, but not shot full of skittering beats", noting Broadcast's approach of fusing "synthesized sounds and live instrumentation".[3] Writing for The Washington Post, Mark Jenkins said that the album "combines dub atmospherics, sample-driven audio collage and Trish Keenan's icy vocals in the manner of Portishead."[8]

The Noise Made by People received critical acclaim.[9] Awarding it a full score of five stars, AllMusic's Heather Phares called the album "shimmering, weightless pop" that "delivers [Broadcast]'s sound in widescreen, filmic grandeur."[10] Pitchfork's Dan Gardopée applauded it as "positively vibrant and alive."[16]

Pitchfork placed The Noise Made by People at number 177 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s,[18] and "Echo's Answer" at number 178 on its list of the best tracks of the 1990s.[19]

Legacy Edit

In 2014, Vice's Billy Black hailed The Noise Made by People as Warp's most representative release. Lauding its "untouchable otherness", Black wrote that it helped pave paths for accessible experimental music in the future.[20] Stereogum's Nate Patrin wrote an essay on the album in response to its 20th anniversary, crediting it with introducing a "more sophisticated, less caricatured" psychedelia style to the new millennium.[21] Mark Lager, in a retrospective review commemorating the album's 20th anniversary, described the "cinematic" instrumentation as similar to "the crystalline elegance of film scores (especially the swinging basslines and jazzy percussion of the ’60s)" and praised Trish Keenan's lyrics and vocals, describing them as "hypnotic and inviting while still mysterious and melancholy."[22]
