    Up there with the best albums of last year without doubt. Admittedly it's a tough first listen or so but I'm glad I persevered. I don't think it's bare at all as mentioned by other reviews. The opposite infact: Donkey Island, Costa Rita, Mewn Hi Socasau, Circus time, Surf Rage, Country Girl.... the only weak one id that Slip slip away which is a typical Euros moment of Up there with the best albums of last year without doubt.

My brother didn't like this album at the start either but has really gotten in to it recently. Look beneath the madness and see that the melodies and general simplicity are what make it work. Expand

    Despite a few album worthy tracks, this album has two major flaws, it's short and yet it feels padded with short tracks of pschadelic nonsense.

  1. It's not the best thing he's ever done, but it's up there with it.

    An experimental, sensual collection of songs harking back to the days of the first Gorky's EPs. [Mar 2006, p.104]

    Sadly, he only briefly reaches the heights of his best Gorky's work. [18 Feb 2006, p.36]
