For sure, dollops of Franz, Blur and Supergrass have been whisked into this epileptic mix of guttural, quick-witted punk-pop but Little Death is no pre-packaged ready-bake; it’s an improvised, home-cooked palate-whetter, coated in rhythm and sprinkled with bite.
-
Perfect pop without the pretence, basically.

Q MagazineTellingly, there isn't a weak song here, just 13 slices of original Pirate material. [Mar 2008, p.108]
-
Little Death is indie for the fanzine generation, 12 blazing little fires of warmth that'll connect stylishly with the masses too.

Little Death may well resemble stolen kisses behind the bike shed rather than an evening of prolonged love making with the object of your desire, but that is still preferable to a night in with just a box of Kleenex for company.

UncutPete & The Pirates have a handful of great pop songs to balance out the weight of their obvious influences. [Mar 2008, p.97]

AriM.Apr 16, 2008Good simple brit pop, not lyrical strong but the tunes carry themselves, not a record to be taken too seriously.
