    [An] enjoyable, if slightly inconsistent, album.

    Voxtrot's self-titled debut album is marvelous: a collection of 11 tightly coiled songs, loud and fast and sweet.

    While those EPs were the energetic documents of a hungry band at a creative peak, [this album] too often seems to fall flat. [#17, p.88]

    No one should rate this album unless they've listened to it more than 5 times. It takes awhile to get used to but now I can't stop listening. See Voxtrot live if you can.… Expand

    I'm so tired of every single reviewer saying "This isn't nearly as good as their EPs..." Did you read that in Rolling Stone, so you all feel the need to post it over, and over, and over again? Everyone is saying these songs aren't as catchy. Did you think that maybe that is because they aren't quite as shallow?? The depth of this album became apparent to me around the 3rd or 4th time through. Listen to the cd in it's entirety, beginning to end. It becomes even better with each listen, as a really great album does. We should all be thanking Voxtrot for an album that isn't "catchy". If you want catchy, go buy Gym Class Heroes. This is real music.… Expand

    Rushed! They didn't gain anything by forcing this record out. In there defense however, they are trying to find themselves, or rather, distance themselves from what made them. Do them a favor, quit comparing them to the Smiths and Belle Sabastian. It will no longer serve them.… Expand
