Stylistically this album is very similar to Specifics; but that isn't necessarily a problem; "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Another solid release by Midwest. As with Specifics pretty much everything on the disc is great, save for Bank, which annoys the heck out of me; I feel it is like the one track that doesn't belong and it kind of interrupts the vibe that they have going, but everyone else who hears the disc seems to get a kick out of it. If you liked Specifics, you'll like this one too. I think it deserves at least a 4/5.

Midwest Product’s mini-album, “WORLD SERIES OF LOVE,” adds a new instrument to the mix: vocals. From the angsty ravings on “Dead Cat” to the cool (and oddly humorous) 80s drone on “Bank” that would give Ladytron a run for their money, Midwest Product seems to be reaching for indie crossover—even though that’s probably not their intention. On the instrumental tracks, “Swamp” sounds as if it could have come off of SPECIFICS, while “Avant Poop” goes for a more aggressive, distorted bass, and “Duckpond,” mixes electronic atmospherics with art-rock. The chorus on “Motivator” seems a bit out of place to me, but “Umbrella” closes the album on a quiet, ambient note. Not as cohesive as SPECIFICS, I’m afraid.
