In my opinion one of the best albums ever made. There are so many great songs I can't possibly choose a favourite.
David S. gave it a10:
Brilliant album. As was Lost Souls. There Goes The Fear must be one of the most perfectly crafted songs of the last decade. An album to come back to time and again.

everything's these boys touch turns to gold. admittedly, though, the album is top heavy.
atta boy gave it a9:
it's been 3 years since the release of this record, and it is just as entrancing and intriguing now.

A truly magical collection of euphoria, desolation and frantic energy, this is without doubt the best of the Doves three (excellent) albums, and definitely one of the best rock albums of the 1990's. Truly moving on from their Sub Sub background, this album is a remarkable show of confidence that has been so well conceived and executed, one wonders what on earth they were doing in the Dance genre for so long (if at all). In what has to be one of the most atmospheric and melodic albums produced in the 1990's, there are no weak tracks present; each song touching upon a different style of the genre, telling its own story, and conveying its own, thoughtfully crafted vibe. To summarise: (as if it was not clear already..) A magnificent and ultimately accomplished piece of musicianship, a lesson as to how Britpop/Rock/Indie should be done. Long may the Doves continue in this rich vein of form.

This is album is class! It has so many different qualities, it can be haunting, happy, relaxing and rocky. It has a song to fit every emotion and can be a very comforting album when you need it, one of my favourite ever albums!
