    Smart, melodic, catchy songs that not only have strong, wonderful structures, but are graced with inventive, clever arrangements.
  2. Sonicnet
    80
    Horns, keyboards and acoustic guitars dominate the 10 tracks here, with an overall live sound that steers clear of the studio effects the band embraced with their last release, Guerrilla.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    In a world where a cheap squirt of brass is enough to equal "a new direction", the Super Furries' free-range ideas-farming is a vital antidote to the preservative-pumped junk that curdles music's bloodflow.
  4. Nude As The News
    80
    Mwng fits right in with their unique vision, and shows that the band can happily and productively work outside of the traditional bounds of the music industry.

    I speak Welsh. So I know what they're on about (even though Gruff Rhys has a distinctively northen accent). Its excellent.
