    I love this album. It is original and intoxicating! Not sure if the US will get it, but our buying public doesnt generally have very good taste.

With all of these references to Starsailor and Coldplay, I think an enigmatic band such as The Veils should be compared more to bands who have truly opend new ground for other acts. Take Afghan Wigs, The Philharmonic Orchestra and throw in a dash of The Velvet Underground...Ladies and Gentlemen...I give you The Veils.… Collapse

    Not a single bad track. Andrews voice is fantastic. 'Lavina' is one of the best songs I've heard in a long while.

    Where Starsailor failed at morphing Britpop with orchestral flair, the Veils soar. [Aug 2004, p.118]

    They’re a perfect opening band: professional and sufficiently appealing on a sonic level without risking upstaging the headliner with any distinct personality or emotional resonance.
