    Worst new band of the year! Awful. 'We're mad and energetic and youthful us' - great for you, now try writing a song that doesn't make me want to chew off my own tongue!

  1. The trio can't sustain this energy and inventiveness over the entire album.
  2. A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation is by no means a bad album, but at the same time it’s hard to see just what all the fuss is about.
  3. The album, like their live set, is shot through with fun, infectious wit and a desire to create perfect pop while not taking themselves too seriously.
