    They are a less irreverent and more melodic Art Brut, swapping that band’s caustic wit for a far nicer type of honesty.

    An eclectic but thoroughly satisfying record. [21 Jan 2006, p.35]

    Breathless power-pop offset by an innuendo-laden lyricism. [Mar 2006, p.98]

    Great songs! Energetic and addictive. These guys are very talented and deserve some praise. Songs don't have to be so different that they are bizarre and depressing to be good songs. The main weakness I see is in their lyrics which are immature and too fague. BUT, their youthful optimism and talent overpower any issues with the lyrics. I can't wait to hear their next songs.… Expand

    Inside In/Inside Out is a really good album. These are soft pop melody tracks that are sung really nice by Luke Pritchard. It's nothing groundbreaking, but these English hipsters know how to make music and it shows on this album. B+… Expand

    Good melodies but the album could be someway repetitive, there are songs so similar each other. Good instant hits, like She moves in her own way, an amazing song that i'll never forget. Sorry, my english is too bad, i'm from basque country… Expand
