yorkgMay 10, 2009Dericative pah! sometimes a well made bacon butty beats any haute cuisine with no soul and sometimes simple messages need to be sung simply, give me life affirming over hand ringing angs any day. The sun snies!

JonD.Apr 9, 2008What sort of critics are these giving such poor votes on such an awesome album? This is such a top album on all levels and the best debut album I have heard from any band since Oasis. Outstanding!

EricFeb 20, 2005One of my favorite records from 2004, now available in the US. Jangly, twangy Britpop that sounds like a distant relation to the Byrds and a less distant relation to the late, lamented La's.

Importantly, while The Stands’ obvious musical loves cannot be faulted, it’s their own inimitable style that makes them more than just another retro outfit.

Entertainment WeeklySure, singer Howie Payne's creaky emoting... sounds like flower-child muck, but his lilting melodies will charm your hippie-lovin' pants off anyway. [28 Jan 2005, p.83]

Familiarity can be a good thing, but The Stands get plain fresh, crossing the line between feeling safe and feeling violated.
