JamesJAug 18, 2006Really rather good and better than the last Manic's album. Seems like a taste of things to come. The lyrics are great as well. He should write a few more Manic's tunes.

DanSOct 23, 2006This is a wonderful pop album. Bradfeild shows on this effort that he doesn't really need Nicky Wire to write lyrics for him. This is better than the last Manics album. I can't stop listening to it! Bradfeild has a great solo career ahead of him (which I can't say for Nicky after listening to his solo release).

ThomBAug 21, 2006Why are the Manics not huge in the US? Bradfield's first feature length solo-effort delivers the goods. Not too Manics yet not too far removed from more recent Manics albums.

JuliaASep 12, 2006an excellent work is all I can say...because I will brag about him for soooo looong if I let myself writing loosely on him :) .congrats for the album!.and what makes me jealous of his works (both as solo and in the band) is the way he could control his screamings and low tones at the very precise energy and power.

HarrietHa.Jul 17, 2007Not one song I would skip on this, they're all class! JDB's voice is just a thing of beauty. It won't change the world of rock 'n' roll, but sometimes all you want from an album is quality tunes, an amazing voice, and epic guitar riffs. It's just a greay great album.

Aug 9, 2020As perfect as an album JDB could have produced. Under the strain of a Manic Life Crisis this album is as uplifting as it is biopic.

It is modest, lucid and tender.

MojoA typically heartfelt and demonstrative record given to wistful glances backward. [Aug 2006, p.90]

New Musical Express (NME)Sounds like a man freed from the shackles of history. [22 Jul 2006, p.31]
