    A hidden gem in a murky quagmire of landfill non-entities.

    While not overly original, this album more than compensates for compositional complacency with its energetic delivery.

    This is a strong body of work from the London-based group who have taken the best of '90s guitar music and made it their own.

    Splashh have done what their equally fresh-faced contemporaries have tried to do: make an exciting debut.
  5. This is not the carefree record Splashh were expected to make, but it is all the better for its dourness.
