JamieMSep 30, 2005Nah. I love 'em I really do, but this just isn't all that strong. There's a tune shortage here. They've covered it up well, but the killer to filler ratio is well below their average. Cloudberries rocks, mind.

PatrickKSep 14, 2005Is it just me, or does the metascore for this seem way too low? I mean, there are only four reviews under 80... and three 100's. Just saying. In any case, this is one heck of an album from one heck of a band. Seven discs later and they're still going strong. I really don't think there are many other bands so consistently good and inventive.

AlexFeb 6, 2006Another comment here asks "Are they ever going to make an album that is less than brilliant?" Unlikely.

JimDNov 24, 2005Anyone who likes SFA and doesn't think this album is great should listen to it at least 20 times before giving it a rating. I wasn't all that impressed after the first couple of listens, but now I have to say its one of my favourite albums of all time. If it didn't have "The Horn" on it, it would be a perfect album.

MrsCairnsyOct 5, 2005What's not to like? Beautiful melodies with strange lyrics, multilayered sounds, diverse influences, a bit edgy, typically impeccable SFA quality control all add up to a wonderful album. The best bit? How good these songs sound live. SFA OK

daxpSep 16, 2005this is a great album from one of those bands that can just do no wrong.

DiegoSep 14, 2005Not addictive as previous efforts but still pretty nice.

GruffSep 15, 2005A very good album, although there are 1 or 2 songs that are not great. Having said that, it's definitely a grower.

NiklasPSep 15, 2005Very nice one, not at all as experimental as their first ones, but very a very thorough piece of work, filled with puns, hooks, great sound and a fantastic lead man followed by his amazing musical mates.

LawrencePSep 17, 2005A very strong release with some really unforgetable songs from one of the most solid bands of the last 10 years.

JoeyLDec 3, 2006This is probably the best album they've made. It's mature and absolutely beautiful.

JulianRNov 13, 2005This album is merely pleasant. Like on Phantom Power, not much immediately stands out and grabs you. Definitely one of the band's lesser efforts, though still worthwhile. Only the opening track "Zoom!" has me pressing the repeat button. Perhaps their best ever song.

BrianDOct 14, 2005Takes a few listens, but it is certainly worth the effort. Are they ever going to make an album that is less than brilliant?

SamuelLSep 13, 2005The poor reviews are depressingly short sighted. This is an album I could see persisting for decades to come. It takes a while to sink in, but that just makes the discovery of all the intricate melodies and new territories (for SFA) even more rewarding.

RichardSSep 13, 2005A work that washes over you rather than attacks you from all sides, but all the more beautiful for it. The perfect record for those late-night hours.

BobXSep 13, 2005SFA drop the silliness for a serious and beautiful album that really resonates. Those looking for their famous silliness will not like it much. Those who always saw that underneath the gimmicks there were serious and great songs will be dazzled at what is their most honest attempt at straighforward music. A very beautiful album and possibly a career of a very expansive career.

TomSep 16, 2005A return to form after the relatively boring Phantom Power.

JohnGSep 19, 2005You just can't predict them. Theres no point in even thinking about it. So don't, accept it. Just magic. Again.

What could have easily ended up as a boring, stale record -- the sound of a band getting ready for 401(k) land -- is instead the peaceful sound of a goofy band being a little less silly.
-
Perhaps it's a little disappointing on some level that Love Kraft is merely a very good Super Furry Animals [album], with few surprises outside of its alluring sleekness.
-
Even by SFA’s lofty standards, the production on Love Kraft is little short of incredible.
