Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$The Crystal Method} spent three long years proving their devotion to the dance underground, and in the meantime separated themselves from the 1997 {\big beat} bonanza that pigeonholed their debut full-length, {^Vegas}. {^Tweekend} is still something of a crossover record for many dance fans; the frameworks of these songs, and the changes within them, are obvious and unsurprising to anyone who's seen a few soft drink commercials. Still, {$Ken Jordan} and {$Scott Kirkland} are solid, experienced producers, and that makes all the difference. The opener, {&"PHD,"} is an excellent piece of slow-grind {\electronica}, flaunting a thick, heavily tweaked acid wash of funky breaks. The duo also dips into {\rap-rock} for {&"Name of the Game,"} using guitarist {$Tom Morello} ({$Rage Against the Machine}) and some {\heavy metal} scratching courtesy of {$Beck}'s {$DJ Swamp}. {$Morello} actually appears as co-producer on three tracks, and despite his lack of experience with {\electronica} -- {$Rage} records usually included the declaration that all sounds had been produced by only guitar, vocals, bass, and drums -- the tracks he appears on are the best on the record. The other big guest spot is reserved for another heavy rocker, {$Scott Weiland} of {$Stone Temple Pilots}, and he also proves surprisingly complementary to {\electronica}; deserting his usual sand-blasted croon, {$Weiland} delivers an emasculated vocal more reminiscent of prime {\new wave} than {\grunge}. Though the mid-tempo beats and nearly shlocky rhythms are a bit passé for 2001, {$the Crystal Method} have obviously come a long way since the heyday of 1997. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
