    awful awful awful awful. doesn't sound like steely dan or any other lazy touchstone reference. it sounds like something that should be playing in an episode of 'friends.' think twice, please.

    this is absolutely horrendous music, the least challenging thing ive heard in years. if you like maroon 5 then youll love this crap.

    There are some bands who were just meant to be great pop acts -- pop in the George Michael sense, pop in the Fleetwood Mac sense. Phoenix make music that your mom would like, and it's not a bad thing.

    Unbelievably catchy hipster synth-rock. [Sep 2004, p.136]

    There's something admirable about a record that proves it's possible to remove grit from adult contemporary pop.
