  1. Arab Strap successfully juxtaposes songs that deal with the fallacy of human interaction, while maintaining a singular Scottish sound and mindset.

    Just as downtrodden and elegant as those [albums] before it. [1 May 2003, p.56]

    For every great line on the album, there are three throaway verses. [June 2003, p.96]
