markp.Nov 3, 2008As overrated as Oasis, and just as mediocre. Middle of the road stuff, yawn. America is making the most interesting Indie music these days, by far.

WillOct 24, 2008I was dissappointed. The first few songs are excellent but the rest is a bit uninspiring and the music becomes a little bland and predictable.

JayKOct 22, 2008Despite all the hype, this album is not that good. Musically, it does stop you in your tracks when you hear its sound. Lyrically, however, it is brain-dead. Most 14-year old children of divorced parents could write more meaningful lyrics than those of "Daddy's gone". This song reminds me of Mike Myers singing "Just the two of us" in Austin Powers.

Glasvegas maybe won't change lives but with its rich indie wall-of-sound nostalgia trip, it should get a few kids delving through their influences and forming space-rock bands.

It's another debut album laid low by ravages of hype.

So believe it: this is the real thing, no-one’s crying wolf, not even Alan McGee.
