    A very promising debut indeed. Reminds me a lot of The La's with a dash of Stone Roses. Kind of rough folk-rock sound. And they are just kids, by the way - no way to tell from the ecelectic music. So young, so talented, so unfair. These people might grow big.

    This CD is the most singularly amateurish, derivative CD I have ever had the misfortune to purchase. The Coral are a bunch of wankers, as are music journalists who fawn all over them. After you've listened to this disc, you'll undoubtedly ask yourself what CD the critics are raving about, because you'll think, sure as hell, that it couldn't have been the CD you just listened to. … Expand

    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.

    Had never heard of this band before, but it was a featured CD in a Boarders Books kiosk in Washington DC, so I had a listen in the store. Heard about three songs and I was hooked. Bought the CD, and I can?t take it out of the CD player. You must go out and get this CD, you will love it!!!!!

    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]
