    If ever there was proof that newspaper music critics are sheep this is it. A flailing, overbaked, simplistic, cowpat of an album - sung by a dreadful 80-style vocalist. But praised to the hilt by newspapers/magazines/websites. The man from Sputnikmusic rightly pointed out that no less than seven "proper" reviewers compared this to Definitely Maybe.

    Typical british overrated crap! NME gave this a 10/10 and that's no surprise at all. They've never cared about music before so why start now.

    Glasvegas maybe won't change lives but with its rich indie wall-of-sound nostalgia trip, it should get a few kids delving through their influences and forming space-rock bands.

    It's another debut album laid low by ravages of hype.

    So believe it: this is the real thing, no-one’s crying wolf, not even Alan McGee.
