One of the few albums that deserves its Pitchfork-generated hype. [Jul 2006, p.204]
-
By marrying the subtle ethereality of bands like MBV with the swashbuckling pomp of a modern-day Iggy, they are a band at once single-minded and confused.
-
At the end, S-M is still a silly tribute band, years away from hoeing a unique row. But when musicians crank out such a joyously chaotic mess of someone else's forced nostalgia, it's hard to be mad at them.

MihaiV10Excellent. Very close to a masterpiece. It's true that classifying it as shoegaze is debateable. It's so much more.
