Catching the eye more than the ear, the rickety Maybe I Am Amused features Nirvana's Krist Novoselic. Meatier stuff surfaces on the quintessentially sludgy War Pussy, while I Want To Tell You thrillingly imagines Osborne's heroes, Kiss, covering The Beatles in hypermelodic proto-psych mode.

There's a brief slump with One Last's fey melodies, but it's not enough to derail proceedings. A serious talented young band. [Jun 2010, p.119]- Q Magazine

Kline's disclosures are striking because they feel genuinely homespun, less rallying cry than cheery counsel from a friend perched on your bed. [May 2018, p.107]- Q Magazine

The nostalgia would be overwhelming were it not for Bayley's ability to offset it with woozy, elastic beats. [Aug 2020, p.102]- Q Magazine

What stops it from feeling like an exercise in arch, vintage chic fancy dress is the warmth of their tunes and the lively untidiness if the execution. [Sep 2020, p.109]- Q Magazine

It still sounds fabulous and relevant too, though this Super Deluxe Edition with lots of superfluous add-ons and a super £50-plus price tag to match is surely for completists only. [Aug 2011, p.133]- Q Magazine
