    pedal to the metal, dark, layered rock that vairies from the desolate brilliance of Awake to the viceral progression of Whatever Happened...album of 2001

    A (Dutch) critic once described a (Dutch) author as a 'soul without a skin'. That's exactly what I think of this album: it's sensitive, moving and honest.

    it´s the album the gallagher brothers are dreaming to make since a long time. this music is dirty, full of angst and rock in its pure clothes. sure as the sun has a bass loop that worths the entire cd. perfect to walk in an unknown city.

    Definitely one of my favorites. So they show their influences, we all have them.

    exactly what i needed. this is an album full of emotion, beauty, truth and honesty. regardless if they sound like another band. everyone sounds like another band. this is a great record for anyone with appreciation for good music.

    This disc is enjoyable listening but it is not as good as seeing them live. I have seen them a few times and they put on an amazing show. If they are coming to your town definetly check them out.

    They're merely using Psychocandy as a workaday aesthetic strategy and, despite loads of melodrama, they never sound pretentious about it either.

    A flawless blend of acoustic-turns-into-fuzz guitar work and backbeat rhythms that create the aural equivalent of fog.

    This self-produced major-label debut boldly plunders a reverb-and-white noise course previously trampled underfoot by long-gone British bands of the late '80s and early '90s (the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Verve, Ride, the Stone Roses, etc.).
