    Incredible. Arab Strap have found their coherency across an album, lyrical maturity and imaginatively warm songwriting amongst subject matters which display modern British culture more accurately than any present group.

  1. Arab Strap successfully juxtaposes songs that deal with the fallacy of human interaction, while maintaining a singular Scottish sound and mindset.
  2. Just as downtrodden and elegant as those [albums] before it. [1 May 2003, p.56]
  3. For every great line on the album, there are three throaway verses. [June 2003, p.96]
