JimmehJOct 31, 2006Absolutely great album. This one needs just as much repeating before you get everything out of it as the previous albums did.

auteur55Nov 6, 2006Don't understand why everyone has turned on Badly Drawn Boy. Misunderstood and underestimated I am shocked at the tripe that is tolerated today while true talent gets knocked down again and again. Another enchanting and life affirming journey from a great songwriter.

TimJNov 13, 2006Fantasic album by BDB. Probably his best since Bewilderbeast, little better than "Fish" It DOES take a lot of listening, but once you start, its hard to stop!

L.SapientiaOct 17, 2006Badly Drawn buy is pretty sweet. Simple as that. His songs are simple and moving.

TimCNov 12, 2009OK, so clearly it's not BDB's best work, but it's nonetheless melodious, clever, and more heartfelt than just about all of the other new music I'm hearing. Definitely worth buying and it really does take a lot of listens, and doesn't get old fast at all. Saw him do this album live and just WOW.

PaulW.Dec 5, 2009WHATT?!! How could everyone rip this album some much? There are so many damn good songs on it!! I think there is some conspiracy to take down Gough.

UrbAn odd album... this might well have been called Badly Drawn Boy: The Musical. [Oct 2006, p.117]

This may not measure up to The Hour Of Bewilderbeast, but it does boast a batch of sweet and deceptively unfussy, scruffily heartfelt tunes dealing with love, loss and the messiness of life that help redeem his unarguable songwriting talent.

Gough has tried several new directions here. The results are mixed.
