    When will this band sod off, and stop boring us with their p*ssweek take on intellectual music. They're lyrics are band, melodies non-existent. I'm from Australia where the Go-Betweens are from (Brisbane mind you, full of John Howard voting hicks) and I'm tired of radio stations playing this band ... mainly due this band's alleged past glories. G-Betweens get lost.

    With its imagination, startling creativity, and sheer pop soul, Oceans Apart is the first great Go-Betweens' record of the 21st century.

    They remain one of rock's most pleasurable hand-me-down discoveries. [29 Apr 2005, p.148]
