Apr 3, 2015Eleven years later, I only regret that they didn't release anything else. It is amazing, subtle and smart. Every, guitar, bass line and drums are perfectly arranged and brilliantly mixed with the voice, that only leaves you wanting for more.

SamBJun 1, 2005Reminiscent of The Velvet Underground, and dripping with New York 'Cool'. This album is an undeniable musical masterpiece, far outshining many of its influences.

KaranJan 1, 2005Every instrument plays a different part and has it's own groove. The music is so intricately woven, and blends so well. Great songwriters and talented musicians, as well. I saw em on MTV's discover and download, and ever since iv been completely entranced by this band.

JohnAug 18, 2004I just LOOVE this cd! I really think these guys will be big, and big as in people who like intelligent music will like it, I love this album because it has a real heart, and they have a lot of passion and style. Every time I hear "Stay Where You Are" I almost get misty-eyed because the song is just SO beautiful!

Awards & Rankings
-
The group creates an ornately atmospheric resonance throughout Ambulance Ltd., but their light-weight compositions place the album at serious risk of floating away.
-
BlenderAmbulance Ltd have good ears and an even better imagination: They run their influences through a filter of solid gold. [Apr 2004, p.126]
-
Rolling StoneThey have a brilliant gift for Lennon-style pop melody that makes their spaciest riffs go down like a spoonful of hash-laced honey. [13 May 2004, p.73]
