The Beatific Visions is one of the most enthralling, deceiving and delightful albums of recent times.

BlenderThe Bush-Blair era has damaged these guys, and the results rule. [Jun 2007, p.105]
-
Gone are the gimmicky fragments and Mcluskyesque scene-jabs. The Beatific Visions is dominated by direly catchy and fully fleshed-out songs that pop like punk, lilt like country, mutter politics, and reek of the garage.
