    This kitchen-sink hybrid works remarkably well. [Nov 2008, p.117]
  2. Their debut is crisp electro-rock with a big hook in every tune, and lyrics that present them as a bunch of civic-minded young fellows.
  3. On the one hand, it's riotously good fun; on the other, it's a bit naff.
  4. They sound nice, look nice but you'd be pressed to find any substance.
  5. And Then Boom is the moment the ironic ’80s electro revival finally manages to jump the shark.
  6. Iglu & Hartly are collectively giving the nation a wedgy and nobody seems to even care, that is why this is the worst album of the year.

    Don't so pretentious people - this album is good fun! A guilty pleasure, if you will.
