Sylvester criticized the album for taking less risks with the band's attempt at commercializing its genre-hopping political tracks to the mainstream masses, concluding that it "ends up being merely a squandered opportunity, which sadly sums up This Island as well." Derek Miller of Stylus Magazine felt the album toned down the band's penchant for delivering upbeat socio-political tracks that comes across more slick but soulless in its social message, saying that, "This Island is expertly produced at times, with a crisp, micro-edged flaunt that belies their gauche political discourse." Promotion, touring and aftermath The band promoted the record through tours in North America and Europe from 2004 to 2005. To support the record, Le Tigre appeared at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2004. They were also scheduled to appear at Lollapalooza 2004, but was cancelled due to the festival's poor ticket sales. The band also made an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, performing "TKO" on April 15, 2005. Le Tigre also released a remix album, This Island Remixes, in 2005 on Le Tigre Records.
