  1. Nearly every single thing about this album is a shout-out to the Clash or Gang of Four, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but why not just listen to the originals instead?

    What none of these songs has... is a hook that sticks with you. [Jul 2006, p.204]
  3. New Musical Express (NME)

    Their problem? Others have overtaken them. [17 Jun 2006, p.39]
  4. If they’re not really adding anything new to the Clash/Gang of Four sound, at least Radio 4 is doing it with conviction.

    It's frustrating when you know they can do better. [Jul 2006, p.116]
  6. Though they'll sound good on the dancefloor, Radio 4's greatest foes are themselves.
  7. Under The Radar

    The quality of the songs quickly fades as the album spins on. [#14]
