Q MagazineYet for all Stride's laddishness, this is a sophisticated album that never coasts or repeats itself. Making pop sound this effortless, this joyous, is no easy task. [May 2010, p.124]
-
Their charm wears thin with each passing track, and Stride's hit-making approach becomes increasingly plain in the process. In the end, it's something of a blessing that Everybody Wants to Be on TV is over and done with in a mere 34 minutes' time.
-
UncutUnfortunately, Scouting For Girls occasionally meander out of their depth. [May 2010, p.102]
-
The musical equivalent of a puppy humping your leg. This is not a recommendation.
-
With Everybody Wants To Be On TV, they've given those masses what they want. But there's nothing for the discerning music fan.
-
40 minutes' worth of observations such as, "I'm a little bit lost without you/ I'm a bloody big mess inside" and "Posh girls have good manners/ But they go like the clappers" (ye gods), accompanied by roustabout guitar, drums and keyboards.
-
They peddle clichés about ugly ducklings and shagging that are so offensive they make a donkey braying into a bin sound like the ripe observations of a Charlie Brooker column.
