    The only problem with this symphonic daydream is that at just nine songs and 43 minutes, it's over far too soon. [24 Aug 2007, p.130]

    Snaith's newest album, Andorra, merges "Milk's" heady sense of immediacy with a clear and consumable swiftness.

    So slick is the production and so smooth is the transition from one moment to the next that Andorra suffers from an apparent reluctance to take us by the scruff of the neck and rattle us out of our mental Laconia.

North America is rock. Notice how they are marketing M.I.A. as 'alternative'?. Anyway I've listened to Andorra many times trying to get my money's worth, but I am still ambivalent about it. Oh and by slagging someone else's review you kinda look like culty.… Expand
