Aug 31, 2014Remarkable for the width and the melodic intuition of the songs. Beautifully sung, essential rock from a place outside the city centers. The title retains some mystery after all these years but remains well chosen. The singer is highly evolved, and so is the rock album after decades of refinery.

Aug 28, 2014One of my personal favourites, one of the few good albums of this century. Garage Rock needs to come back! Replace the **** we have now called "Indie Rock".

KatyMJan 4, 2003I love this album. Craig is ultimately the new Kurt Cobain. A mix of drums, bass, guitar, and two great voices. Its overwhelming '1969' and 'Mary Jane' are definetly the high points of this CD. While songs like 'In the Jungle' show some attitude.

dmjAug 30, 2002This album fucking rocks, great for a debut and certainly better than Nirvana's debut Bleach. I like Nirvana, but the Vines don't sound like them at all. Nirvana had this deep, dark bass sound, and some of there songs unfortunately inspired the nu-metal garbage of today(negative creep, scentless apprentess, hairspray queen) the vines are just straight rock, no frills.

JBAug 12, 2002Everyone I know who owns this album doesn't like the Vines, they like the memories they're reminded of. Get past that, and this is not a good rock record.

TeresaC.Aug 8, 2002The Vines aren't awful, but they lack individuality and a memorable song. I'd recommend buying the second two White Stripes album or The Strokes' "Someday" instead.

AaronL.Jul 27, 2002Has it's moment and as a whole it is the best of the new rock bands like The Strokes and The Hives. Although they rock out, their ballads (especially 'Mary Jane') are quite outstanding and puts them near the top of the heap.
