    Palookaville is every bit as rewarding an experience when taken as a cohesive unit as the best songs are when taken individually.
  2. Lost At Sea

    Even the songs that rise above the simple looped-beat formula don’t have much to offer.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)

    Doomed to lurk unplayed at the back of your collection. [2 Oct 2004, p.64]

    Though BLTC still is a classic, this album puts me in the right FBS-mood!
