    Radio 4 borrow, like everyone else, but they had the idea to borrow before most on the map. [Jun 2006, p.114]

    There is a definite funky joyousness to be found in this latest collection. [19 May 2006, p.77]

    Comes closer to capturing their arse-shaking live performances than any of its predecessors. [Jul 2006, p.104]
  4. Though they'll sound good on the dancefloor, Radio 4's greatest foes are themselves.
  5. New Musical Express (NME)

    Their problem? Others have overtaken them. [17 Jun 2006, p.39]
  6. This could be the group's most accomplished record musically, but when Anthony Roman opens his yap he consigns the band's good deeds to the remainder bin.
  7. While their political musings... are well intended, the lyrics are so heinously bad and the music so incredibly earnest and bombastic, you're tearing it out of your CD player after five or six tracks.
