nemorinoSep 22, 2006Alludes to wasted years, unhealthy addictions with poise, elegance and not inconsiderable regret. Takes a while - but stay with it!

JoelBSep 25, 2006It's wonderful that Green is still alive. But musically, really, go back and listen to Scritti's old stuff. He's lost it.

LawrencePNov 18, 200610 out of the 14 tracks work really well. One of the best and smartest pop long players of the year for sure.

MaxMMar 11, 2007Am a huge Scritti fan and although this didn't grab me on first listen, it has worked its way into my brain and heavy rotation in my ipod. As always, Green surprises and satisfies. Still think Anomie was sorely underrated.

Entertainment WeeklyThe pristine, synth-heavy result certainly sounds worried over, sometimes to its detriment. [28 Jul 2006, p.67]
-
MojoLyrically he's as pleasingly obtuse as ever. [Jul 2006, p.101]
-
New Musical Express (NME)Even the ticking percussion and trilling synths can't hide the sheer melodic oddness of Gartside's songs. [3 Jun 2006, p.35]
