Alternative PressOccasionally get[s] a tad too close to Jamiroquai territory. [Nov 2005, p.226]
-
Audio Bullys don't waste energy giving any of their half-baked whims time to develop into songs.
-
UrbGood guilty pleasure music. [Oct 2005, p.76]
-

-
This is nearly half of a really good follow up to their debut, but that first sequence of tracks is so lackluster, so full of swagger and bile meaning nothing, that fans may not get to the good stuff.
-
What's that sound? That's the sound of a barrel scraping and a career being flushed down a toilet.
-
MojoFor every shot that hits the target, however, another flies into the blue. [Sep 2005, p.92]
-
Q MagazineIt tries to be everything at once, with varying results. [Oct 2005, p.114]
-
UncutIt's primitive, geezerish stuff but lacks, say, the finesse and humour of contemporary Mike Skinner's work. [Oct 2005, p.112]
-
A largely vocals-free mishmash of brittle beats, buzzy sound effects and hipster ambience that sounds great when Dizzee Rascal is rhyming over it but cold and tinny on its own.
