    Weaker moments such as early single Fluffy or drummer Joel Amey’s drippy vocal on Swallowtail can’t mar a debut giddy with vim and future potential.

Only one question remains: is this their peak?… Full Review »

It contains memorable tracks, good lyrics and something special that every song has in order to give an special meaning and identify with at least one of them. The album is really versatile, it plays with different rhythms and sound in every track. They manage to make an album with unique songs. I think it should be consider one of the best debut rock albums of this decade.… Full Review »
