crap.

My favorite album this year. Life-affirming.

--well, there've only ever been 3 albums that deserve a 10, but this is close. There is a phenomenal beauty that only comes clear after a half-dozen listens, and the musical & lyrical detail is staggering. Each time an SFA album comes out (except maybe "Mwng"), I think it's their best. How good can they get??!!?

wonderful, even after a little overplay, most amazing band i've ever seen live.

This is one of the best records on my shelf that contains all albums of the Furries. This is my favourite furrie album, this doesn't open with one time listening, but about three times and you're in love with it! I've also bought the dvd, I recommend that to all that loved this album. Brilliant.

Amazing, they never do any wrong IMO

The only song that doesn't have an impact on people is Run Christian Run, which drags on. The songs (Drawing) Rings Around The World, It's Not The End Of The World?, Sidewalk Serfer Girl, No Sympathy, Alternate Route To Vulcan Street and Fragile Happiness are easily the best SFA songs ever made. Superb album

Another perfect record.

of course its a 10! go buy it now and do something good for yourself... ...awesome....syd barret strated new career as a bungee jumper when he heard this....brian wilson invents new medication ZOZAC in order to understand how in the world these guys did what he was striving for all his life....noel gallagher turns ortodox....american president shaves his head.....er...awesome.

quite exceptional, unlike anything out there. an album both cheerful AND clever, which is a somewhat forgotten quality.

The Best album that they ever made. More than creative and unique.

This really is the best album of 2002, with The Flaming Lips, Ron Sexsmith, Wilco, and Idlewild's albums close behind. Totally perfect, not a bad track and honestly I'm a little confused by critics saying this album isn't as good as previous efforts. Original, witty lyrics and smart arrangements. A must-own.

Absolutley awesome album from an awesome band!!!

Wonderful album, the best of 2002.

A flawless effort from SFA and probably their finest hour amongst many. Juxtaposed With U is perhaps the perfect indie pop single and it is backed up by some other magnificent tunes such as Shoot Doris Day and the title track. The opener is superb as well.

Another fabulous album, made even better by the DVD release.

SFA do the two things well that most bands struggle with: One mix various styles with ease and excellence and Two - more challenging - write slow songs that are uplifting and affecting but not sappy. A CD worth having in any cool collection.

As the critics say, I think the SFA are truly brilliant. It's too bad they had to dumb down their music to capture a wider audience in this CD (the Beta Band went through a similar transition with their release of Hot Shots II). Frankly, their earlier stuff is just more fun, more interesting, more edgy. Still, I look forward to seeing them live at NewMusicWest.

all the furry themes crystalized and perfected in a magnum opus ... never heard better

It's SFA, ok? It's incredible. The most inspiring, creative music in the world. Ever.

'Juxtaposed with you' was my favorite song of 2001. The cd is a wonderfully eclectic mix.

it's not THAT good, compared to "Radiator" or "Guerilla" it just lacks the classic SFA charm... admittedly there are some truely outstanding songs on this album, but it still remains the Furries worst album to date... it simply lacks most of what make SFA so great on previous albums! The magic ingredient, as it were

amazing!

Easily the best album of the new century. Amazing, beautiful and creative. It doesn't get any better than this.

A masterpiece!

Some of the sharpest, funniest, and cleverest lyrics you'll hear anywhere, on top of some absolutely brilliant pop-stylings, from brit-pop to classic rock, '70s soul to trip-hop, it's all here on this album. Oh, and the musicianship is first rate as well.

i own all of SFA's stuff, and although they've never put out a bad album, i felt like this is THE album where all their ideas came together in the most cohesive. best release of 2002. also, the most well produced album of 2002.

Visit the wonderful wonderland of the Super Furry Animals!!!!

I'll make one thing clear, this album isn't musically perfect. However, I rated this album so highly based on the ridiclousness of it. It's fun to listen to and that is something that's not heard often in music. Listening to this album is an adventure, you don't know what comes next. Take No Sympathy for exmple, it's a soft folky song until half way when all of a sudden it's taken over by a wave of techno. I get so much satisfaction from listening to this album and I'm sure SFA had the greatest fun making an album like this. Sadly SFA lost much of this playfulness in their later albums… Expand
