    Unoriginal, weedy and boring. A waste of hard earned cash. The chorus on Ruby could have been written and performed by six-formers. They're not a patch on Little Man Tate.

    With the title track and Ruby the only redeeming features, this album disappointed me.

    i liked the first album a lot. but honestly, this album is not good. barely at all. it feels rushed, derivative, boring, etc. a sophomore slump, without a doubt.

    An album full of jukebox hits. [Mar 2007, p.98]

    Their second album manages to be full of surprises, while never straying too far from what you'd expect. [Mar 2007, p.80]
  3. Although the tunes have plenty of vigour and aggression, as with Employment, Britpop veterans will feel more than a little sense of deja vu.
