LiamRFeb 24, 2008I was ready to give this album a 9, and pretty much say how it was a slight disappointment but never the less one of SFA's greatest albums. But then "Baby Ate My Eightball" came on, and I realized that this is once again, a triumph.

EmilyW.Feb 12, 2008Iban L., the fact that you say Ween's album was a disappointment, like that was actually a surprise, makes your 3 rating completely irrelevant. Glad to see this album getting more love from the critics after the new release. Definitely not a letdown after Love Kraft (in fact, much better) and one of the 20 best album of 2007.

BetinhOct 11, 2007Fantastic album! I wasnt very impressed with love kraft and phantom power. but this album is one of furries best! i dont get the reviews, well, critics usually follow other critics opinions like sheep, but i was expecting a more positive reception. hey venus is my favourite record of 2007 so far. its catchy, its fun, its delicious, its melodic, its everything a pop record should be. great tunes.

FunFactorSep 5, 2007I think the government has paid off every critic to not give the Super Furry Animals their deserved attention. That has to be the only explanation as to why these guys aren't as big of a public deal after eight albums. Do yourself a favor and help these guys get their fame.

KimN.Sep 4, 2007Yet again, a new great album from one of the most consistent bands around. Critics should love this, they have made some of their best songs ever on this one. Check out "Run-Away", "Show Your Hand" and "Carbon Dating". Amazing stuff. This is HIGHLY recommended.

WriggleF.Sep 2, 2007One of their best - more focused and slightly less random than Love Kraft; but only slightly less. Listen with enjoyment and fun becasue you'll be singing those melodies for weeks. A real earworm!

GianniD.Aug 31, 2007This is one of the best record of 2007. Pure, blissed and amazing tunes that will get stuck in your head. The Welsh band here is inspired and crafts a real gem. back on full form!

MatthewC.Aug 30, 2007More classic tunes from SFA. It feels more complete than Love Kraft. Into the Night and Neo Consumer are great songs.

The only shortcoming is how quickly it's all over. Roll on number nine.

Hey Venus! is an attractive album with a broad appeal – Rough Trade wanted a pop record and got one--but it also feels like a missed opportunity, a consolidation of affairs rather than a step forward.

No doubt fans’ll love it, but virgins shouldn’t expect to swoon at this end-of-the-pier jamming.
