    Saint Etienne has made an egregiously Cardigans-esque wrong turn, abandoning impeccable craft and Motown melodies for the breezy if aimless experimentation of its wildly uneven EPs.

    What a gorgeous and sophisticated pop album. Saint Etienne's best album, by far.

    Very good. Their most sonically adventurous effort since So tough, although it reuires more attention. One of their best.
