DanCMay 21, 2005So, they play Sleepy Jackson on the radio but not You? Eh? Post-post modern anti-irony? Plug? Time will tell I suppose; a pretty solid pop album nonetheless. Pleasing to the ears without being patronising or emotionally cold, which is saying something in today's music climate.

JarrahJSep 15, 2005What do you think - is "Dan C" actually Marc Hogan from PitchFork !!?? (see above review) I guess thats what they call a "scathing!" review!? What a tosser, I'd snap im' one to the head 4 sure. Onya Ben Lee. I think you've come a LONG way since New Sth Hd rd. Keep it up tiger.

KimMay 9, 2009Brilliant! One of my top five favorite albums! This is the kind of album that makes you feel good about everything when you listen to it. It's sweet and charming with a twist. I just adore it!

paulbJun 1, 2006Just a beautiful and very spiritual record. I don't understand the infantile comments - this is a very grown-up album - I'm 43 and this music really engages me - it is bright, intelligent, and makes you feel the world isn't such a bad place after all. Recommended.

DavidFeb 25, 2005Seriously that Rolling Stone reviewer in coming months will reasses for sure. This is a very honest light melodic catchy disc.

DavidDFeb 27, 2005Im a Ben Lee Fan. This is a solid disk. Not amazing for Lee, but it's good. It lacks the composition and strength of "Breathing Tornadoes", and seems to be a bit of a cross between "Hey You, Yes You" and "Something To Remember me by". It lacks a fullness I was hoping for, but has it's catchy parts.

JustinMMar 8, 2005Wow, I've just discovered Ben. Now I want his back catalogue. So what if he's a "precocious little c**t" (not my words) - his music is great. A very positive vibe to this album

MelissaPAug 1, 2005This is a great album. It is good to relax to, sing along to or dance to. Ben Lee has done a brilliant job in creating an album that is origional and very enjoyable.

KristyWAug 14, 2006This album never ceases to make me happy. Despite what others claim, this is NOT a breakup album. Sure bits and pieces of an artist's personal life are going to wind up in their work, but this album is so much more than that. It has a spirituality that is neither cloying nor preachy...something this Agnostic can digest without annoyance. Love it! Ben's the man.

BrendanOct 25, 2005He's tapping into something much bigger than everyone thinks. He's not living in the past as some might say. This sounds crazy, but just keep listening and check out where he is in five years or so. Oh yea, and the music is good too!

Alternative PressHe's never sounded more confident. [Mar 2005, p.134]

Entertainment Weekly[A] pleasant Sunday drive of an album. [18 Feb 2005, p.78]

The songs, engaging as they are, sound cursory, as though Lee wrote them while riding the bus on his way to the studio, staring at his watch and an empty notebook.
