Chromatics' third studio album, "Night Drive", was released in 2007 on Italians Do It Better, the band's most acclaimed release. On "Night Drive", the group ditched their "hairy noise-rock troupe" aesthetic in favor of a "neatly groomed pop-dance quartet". In their review of the album, "Pitchfork" noted that "the transformation of Chromatics has been so effortless that it's still easy to be wowed by the results", adding that "listeners who are only familiar with the band's forays into shambling punk will certainly be surprised by "Night Drive"s assured songwriting".
