    One of the single worst albums you will ever hear. Glorified oom-pah music for morons.

    I got Flathead and thought to myself "Hey this is good!" ...Then I got the rest of the album. Extremely repetitive.

    Their punchy choruses and propulsive garage riffs are as addictive as those of 2006 sensations Arctic Monkeys. [16 Mar 2007, p.69]

    The record comes on like a sweaty, amphetamine-fuelled rehearsal room bash that went extraordinarily well. [Oct 2006, p.102]

    The numbers which populate Costello Music are a darn sight better than Carl Barat and Pete Doherty's solo exploits.
