DavidS.Jul 12, 2007Brilliant album. As was Lost Souls. There Goes The Fear must be one of the most perfectly crafted songs of the last decade. An album to come back to time and again.

BenR.Aug 20, 2002Outstanding, could not fault it in any way, can't understand why this is not sitting proudly at the top of the album charts mind you sales levels rarely matches quality.

LTNov 2, 2003absolutely brilliant - I loaned my copy to a friend and I am seriously considering buying another because I don't think I'll see it again otherwise...

MacMOct 8, 2002Zero competition for album of 2002 so far. Surpasses Lost Souls by a slender mile and is great in every way possible.

AndyW.Jul 22, 2002This is one of the best produced albums ever. The range of sound and effects is almost magical. I have listened to some tracks countless times but each time I hear something new.

CaitrionaMSep 25, 2002I only got to listen to the album 3 times before it got nicked but I still think it surpasses Lost Souls which is a very hard thing to do.....The Pounding is one of those songs that could never get tiresome...I cant wait to buy it again!!!!

LawrecePMar 13, 2005Even the indie kids will admit this is a masterpiece. "Pounding" is the most amazing song.

JorisMar 26, 2005One of the most beautiful and complete albums I ever heard. From the magnificent David Lynch inspired Intro to Pounding to less known gems like The Sulphur Man, all of the songs are so much more than everything on Some Cities.

LaurenOAug 24, 2005This is album is class! It has so many different qualities, it can be haunting, happy, relaxing and rocky. It has a song to fit every emotion and can be a very comforting album when you need it, one of my favourite ever albums!

toddpMay 28, 2003All the indie posturing in the world cannot change the fact that this is a beautiful record.

MatthewSMay 29, 2003Please do yourself the favor of listening to this remarkable album. Though its beauty and majesty may at first elude you (as it did me), give it time and you will realize how essential "The Last Broadcast" is. Truly stunning, and an absolute must have for all lovers of thoughtful, heartfelt, and honest pop-rock (especially the British variety!)

TimE.Jan 13, 2005A groundbreaking masterpiece! Everything Coldplay should have been.

attaboyDec 15, 2005it's been 3 years since the release of this record, and it is just as entrancing and intriguing now.

danb.Dec 25, 2005everything's these boys touch turns to gold. admittedly, though, the album is top heavy.

KennyFeb 23, 2005This is the type of nominal band that only gets better with age... the type of band that is mostly absent from the image laden world of the 21st century.. Every song is a soundscape, to be entrenched within, only to find something new each time..

Nov 29, 2011Pretty good overall. This has a few snore moments and a few genius moments. A bit like this band throughout their career in my view. It's worth listening to this album just to hear Pounding. Great track.

One of the most stunning and gorgeous records of this young decade.

UncutDoves have delivered, with honesty and affection. All other guitar bands this year will seem like a scratchy sideshow. [Jun 2002, p.110]

MagnetA damn good sophomore effort. [#54, p.86]
