  2. Mojo
    60
    Every one of these 12 self-composed, played and produced tracks is absolutely stickled with hooks. [March 2002, p.108]
  3. An eclectic, highly promising debut.
  4. 'Holes In The Wall' is one of the most impressive debut albums of 2002. Fact.
  5. It's surprising to see how well Holes in the Wall holds up under the weight of its own hype.
  6. An album that feels as thrilling to listen to as Definitely Maybe or Parklife.
  7. The Electric Soft Parade are one of the few young British bands to have successfully navigated the hype and emerged with something genuinely promising.
  8. They sound poppy and upbeat and melancholy all at once.
  9. Uncut
    60
    An auspicious introduction. [March 2002, p.96]
