ChrisWJun 12, 2008An amazing growth from their previous CD. It's not your typical garage Indie Band. Very dynamic and each track can stand on it's own. Some songs are great for Sing-A-Longs in bars, while others are just beautifully written. Could be the underground album of 2008.

RobertG.Jul 5, 2008This second effort from the band is much better than their first. The critics are slagging it because it's not deep or mind expanding or experimental or whatever. Screw that! It's fun as hell, it's filled with great hooks, it sounds fantastic and -- combined with the band's incredibly high energy -- this adds up to one of the best albums of 2008.

Aug 13, 2021Overall this album isn't quite as successful as Costello Music, but its highs are VERY high. Some of my favorite songs of the band's entire discography are on this album, including: A Heady Tale, Look Out Sunshine!, Acid Jazz Singer, Lupe Brown, and Milk and Money.

Entertainment WeeklyThis stuff certainly satisfies. What it doesn't do is thrill. [13 June 2008, p.70]

Eighteen months touring and producing themselves at home have toughened the bands sound. And broadened it.
