    There's nothing too complex or alienating about anything on this record; it is lowest-common denominator rock'n'roll painted in broad, primary coloured brushstrokes. [29 Jan 2005, p.57]

    An eclectic ragbag of influences coerced into great exciting guitar pop.

    Like Oasis' first album, it's definitely going to bring people together, and it will certainly start mass sing-alongs, but something tells me The Others won't be making it to a stadium near you anytime soon.

    Alas, they're not very good. [Feb 2005, p.102]

    ...to bring up the average as there are a lot of knee jerk reactions going on... although its more like an 8. The Others are a really exciting and vibrant band, although I can see why older people wouldn't get them. Most of the reviews seem to be slagging off the NME rather than the band. go and see them live you miserable sods.… Expand

    I like this album - can't understand why so many others hate it - gave it 8 to help the average

    A nice simple rock album full of anthems written by someone who will be the Mike Skinner of Indie-Rock.

    dominic masters is one of the most annoying and pretentious singers in modern music. the band are liked and thought of in high esteem due to the image, and the fact the NME likes them. The music they produce is at very best average, and for the majority of the time it does nothing to inspire one. And they won an award named after John Peel?? there is something wrong there, guerilla gigging isnt necessarily a great thing. i dislike both the music and the singer.… Collapse
