    A diverse and highly enjoyable ride.

    I don't consider them rock saviors, but is it asking too much of a band to show a little musical growth?

    The Vines earn real damnation as Winning Days comes to a close. However boring and harmlessly vapid the first ten tracks are, "F.T.W." obliterates any possibility of forgiving them.

    This is maybe the best album i´ve ever heard! I can´t understand why some magazines mean that the songwriting would be to boring while they declare Vision Valley as "their best album ever"!
