    This disc has been rendered with creativity and panache, and it features hooky songwriting so compelling that it's easy to listen to the mere 35 minutes of material (divided into 11 three-minute long, radio-friendly songs) on a continuous loop.
  2. The Guardian
    60
    Maja Ivarsson's throaty, bittersweet delivery gives the whole thing some welcome bite, but there's very little going on below the glossy surface.

    Their newfound nods to pop music... overshadow the expected balls-out rockers. [Apr 2006, p.220]

    I give it a 10. i fell in love with this album immediately. It has a unique sound that is really fresh and upbeat. The lyrics are great. Great cover, songs, price... it will definitely be my summer soundtrack. Try to catch them live.. they sound even better live.… Expand

    DYING TO SAY THIS TO YOU has some good songs, but a lot of the songs I didn't really like. It could have been a bit better.
