I wasn't too sure about these guys after listening to their ablum for the first time. I knew "22 grand job" was great, but it took me a few listens before the tracks began to really grow on me. Now I love 'em.
John W gave it a9:
A truly great album. I find myself tempted to say that it is better than BP's Silent Alarm. With a little improvent in percussion this album would have been a 10.
Chad B gave it a10:
Incredible! The singles, Strasburg, Retreat, Work Work Work, are all brilliant. Binary Love is possibly the best album track not released as a single all year. Witty and Intelligent lyrics, check. Catchy guitar, check. Attitude to conquer the world, check. Some critics have complained that the subject matter is to myopic in that it is aimed at London young professionals. Well, I'll tell you, this album transends to young pros everywhere, especially the drinking bits. Can't wait for the next album!

These guys are so catchy! There's not 1 song I hate, one of the better albums coming out this year! All their songs are short and straight to the point. Best I've heard since The Rapture's "echoes" came out. If you like Bloc Party, The Futureheads, Art Brut, or Franz Ferdinand, check these guys out!!

Reggie is an idiot and pitchfork can't possibly be serious when they rate The Rakes lower than crap like Clap your hands... This CD is very very good. Imagine Art Brut and Bloc Party with a little extra attitude mixed in. Or just try it cuz it's pretty much the best I've heard in a while.
Danny B gave it an8:
Love the fact that all but one of the songs has the kind of chorus that you makes the song worth listening to multiple times, even if the lyrics and subjects of the songs seem to drag and come across as painfully un-profound. Has the kind of energy and invention that'll win a place in any record collection.
