    This array of whomping exotica reflects its creator's appetite for any Third World dance movement he can get his ears on, including such new ones on me as kuduro, barefoot, and -- from the mysterious depths of the District of Columbia -- Moombahton​!

    For anyone who lived through grunge, this is mere nostalgia. Anyone who didn't is advised to go straight to the source.

    I hated this kind of Lemonheads-lite, floral-dressed, clompety-booted, neurotic ninny inanity the first time round, I have absolutely no idea how anyone could be arsed to expend the (admittedly small) effort it takes to produce such a pointless photocopy ... [but] not even I can find it in my bitter heart to hate the Nickelodeon-Dinosaur Jr bounce of "Georgia" or the honey-toned amble of "Suicide Policeman".

    extremely impressive and beautiful sound. easily my favorite debut (and possibly album) of the year. yes, the influences are obvious, but there is still a remarkable sense of originality and each song has incredible focus and inspiration. GIVE THIS ONE A LISTEN, you won't be disappointed… Expand

    Surprising debut that sticks with you well after the record has ended. I've always been a fan of late 80's and early 90's grunge music, it brought Sonic Youth and the Pixies to mind. After hearing a couple of singles, before buying the album, I really wasn't sure what I was getting into. Luckily it has paid off and is on a constant rotation in my car's CD changer.… Expand

    I found this record boring and extremely derivative. I don't get the excitement around this band! There's a couple of good catchy indie pop songs but at times they really sound like a Dinosaur Jr / Pavement cover band. We might probably have something here but they need to find their own style. Drummer looks cool though!… Expand
