    After reading all the "amazing" and "brilliant" comments here I went out and bought the CD. I found it neither amazing or brilliant. Just another disappointment.

    This is no whimsical, fey take on folk music, rather a bold, buoyant frug with the skeletons of The Doors, Teardrop Explodes and other likeminded explorers of the stoned side.

    An eclectic, often crazed debut album.... They have all the hallmarks of an excellent, innovative band that won't be undone by their own hype. [Sep 2002, p.105]

    A record that's as hard to ignore as it is to pin down. [14 Mar 2003, p.66]
