There is a certain magic at work here, one you don't hear often, and one that belongs to true artists alone.
-
This alluring debut is hard to shake off. [24 Dec 2004, p.69]
-
80A debut of undeniable quality. [Oct 2004, p.106]
-
80Ambulance Ltd have good ears and an even better imagination: They run their influences through a filter of solid gold. [Apr 2004, p.126]
-
Like a guided tour through the last 20 years of guitar rock.
-
80A dreamy gem steeped in the tradition of '90s shoegazer rock.
-
80There may not be a more carefully crafted debut release this year.
-
74Sound[s] like a poppy hodgepodge of My Bloody Valentine, Elliott Smith and Sonic Youth. [#9, p.106]
-
Boy do they give good ocean of sound. [19 Mar 2005, p.59]
-
The production's sanitary feel plays a large role in the album's conservative nature, as it scrubs away any potential raucousness.
-
70Ambitiously wide-ranging. [Apr 2005, p.118]
-
They have a brilliant gift for Lennon-style pop melody that makes their spaciest riffs go down like a spoonful of hash-laced honey. [13 May 2004, p.73]
-
But then after a couple more artistic false starts and nearly-getting-it-together moments, the clouds part and Stay Where You Are' shines through with its grainy 12-string splendour and thrownback halo backing vocals and they finally seem to wake up to what they are: a good pop group.
-
70This may be an overly derivative debut but it's one that leaves you eager to hear more.
-
60The group creates an ornately atmospheric resonance throughout Ambulance Ltd., but their light-weight compositions place the album at serious risk of floating away.
