    Fantastic debut that continues the great legacy of awesome music coming out of Perth, Western Australia. This album has something for everyone. Psych Pop, Rock, Country & even spoken word. Check it out!

    Gloriously bouncing between the pop genius of Flaming Lips and Doves and off on completely unique tangents along the way, Luke Steele is the pride of West Australia. (And check out his kid sister's band Little Birdy who are wispfully cool, too!)

    An overpoweringly diverse record. [Aug 2003, p.92]

    Eclectic, certainly, but for the most part it works. [#5, p.108]

    As eccentric as it is beautiful.
