ChisLFeb 18, 2005OK to listen to but it goes nowhere.There is nothing at all memorable on it.

NeilGAug 10, 2004Seriously overrated record that although having it's moments of melodic nous leaves the listener underwhelmed. It has drawn comparison with the likes of Mercury Rev and The Flaming Lips but it's songs are not in the same league. Shows some promise but not the finished article by a long way.

BenjaminBunnyDec 26, 2004Listenable in the sense that it's hummingly inoffensive, but the Earlies are never as inspired as their obvious influences (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev) and the result is pleasant, only occasionally striking psychedelic background music. Could be the most "cutting edge" music you'll hear at the Gap or Starbucks this year.

MojoA band who aim foolishly high but always return, wings intact. [Sep 2004, p.92]

New Musical Express (NME)This music is the electronic, Warp-inspired answer to Brian Wilson's 'Smile.' [31 Jul 2004, p.41]

It's not half-bad, providing you can get over the fact that the Earlies have yet to find a sound to call their own.
