tylerbFeb 18, 2005Unbelievable creativity with catchy melodies. Sasha used a remixed track off this album in his album, 'Involver' and that is what turned me on to Grand National only to find out that everything from them is top notch. Great job guys!!!

tomwJun 9, 2005It is simply amazing that the guys did not conquer the world on the back of this release. maybe the songs are a little too accessible and enjoyable for people to appreciate the considerable invovation and craft evidenced here. For whatever reason, let the world's loss be your gain. One of the debuts of the decade so far.

mattaApr 3, 2006This is really solid stuff. Sounds like a poppier LCD Soundsystem. Very enjoyable and definitely one of the first essential albums of the year.

BenHApr 8, 2005The sound is a perfect blend of synths and guitar that is pleasing to the ear and addictive. America never caught on, but this album is enjoyable to everyone i know who hears it.

UncutTouches of ska... and ethereal dream-rock... betray a penchant for late-'70s guitar experimentation, alchemised here by a brilliant pop sheen. [Jul 2004, p.101]

Grand National's main skill lies in their ability to twin their fine songs to tight electronic productions, striking the perfect midpoint between live organics and cool digital sequencing.

Q MagazineOne of the year's most inventive debuts. [Jul 2004, p.114]
