Rademaker fronts the group with a delicate swagger, and though The Tyde sounds terrific doing ballads (particularly "Breaking Up The Band"), it sounds even better when it stops holding back.
-
Those are the two things that Twice has in spades: soul and passion. Add to that a bunch of great songs, and you've got yourself a real keeper.
-
Twice is a sweet, mercurial foray into lip-quivering American indie-rock infused with the blissful aroma of Creation-style ambience and the woody scent of paisley-clad cosmic country.

SpinBoth intoxicating and deliciously unmemorable. [Oct 2003, p.113]
-
Twice is a summery, psychedelic treat.
-
MojoThese songs cut too deep to be pastiche.... A lovely record of enormous warmth. [Jun 2003, p.101]
-
It's unabashedly retro, fuzzwop guitars bleeding psychedelica all over the place, crossing three decades of a never-ending summer of love and hate, but it's not revolutionary.
