    There's not a weak moment on this dark-horse gem of a disc.

    Ward's controlled voice never falters or fails, which makes his words of wisdom drill into the soul with unquestionable power.

    Frustratingly short of utter genius, but largely lovely too. [May 2003, p.102]

    One of the best records I've listened to in a long time. This CD convinced me to get Transistor Radio and Post War, both of those albums didn't let me down either.… Expand
