100The Alternative to Love is tipped to be his big breakthrough album, and it's easy to see why. It's full of bright '70s power-pop choruses, infectious guitar riffs and the kind of laid-back breeziness that suggests most of these songs came to him in his sleep.

100An instant power-pop classic. [#67, p.84]
-
60What he doesn't have, but desperately needs, is a little of bit of grit.
