    A wondrous re-emergence.

    Infusing their music with real personality and humor, sexiness and humility, they've neatly transcended the air-quote graveyard. [Apr 2005, p.105]

    If there’s a single quality that ties these songs together, it’s consistency of scope and sound.
  4. AllMusic

    Odyssey makes their transition from flag-waving fashionistas to serious, rewarding band smooth and entirely believable.
  5. Under The Radar

    An album that delves deeper and is more varied but loses some of the fun of their debut in the translation. [#9]

    For an international pop act on a major label, this is a daring album. [May 2005, p.109]

    Jettisons their saving grace--a big, glitter-streaked wink--for limp stabs at profundity. [Apr 2005, p.117]

    Fun, consistent, tighter, more listenable songs than most of the indie-pop pap most of the world seems to be hanging itself on thse days. Fun, consistent, tighter, more listenable songs than most of the indie-pop pap most of the world seems to be hanging itself on thse days. Good follow up to their first album. No, it's not the best thing ever, but compared to some of the things other people are claiming IS the best thing ever, it's a breath of fresh air. Rather than turning me off, it makes me want even more. What more could be asked for in a sophomore effort?… Expand

    What album was E! Onlone listening to? It's funny because there are two sources I always have the opposite reaction to: Rollong Stone What album was E! Onlone listening to? It's funny because there are two sources I always have the opposite reaction to: Rollong Stone and E! Online. They should concentrate on photos of Jet and Jessica Simpson! This album is a great companion to The Faint's "Wet from birth". Oh, by the way, who said electroclash was dead??? It's still in the Ford Model T stage of development.… Expand
