    Fantastic album. It a disgrace that it charted so badly.

    This is Ash from their best side. Shame that one of their singles didn't quite top the UK charts. This album is filled with hit potential, though. "You Can't Have It All" is an explosive track with a great chorus that blasts off after a pretty laid back verse. "Blacklisted" would really be a great hit if it was promoted right. One of the most catchy numbers by Ash. "Polaris" is This is Ash from their best side. Shame that one of their singles didn't quite top the UK charts. This album is filled with hit potential, though. "You Can't Have It All" is an explosive track with a great chorus that blasts off after a pretty laid back verse. "Blacklisted" would really be a great hit if it was promoted right. One of the most catchy numbers by Ash. "Polaris" is the kind of big and beautiful version of "Starcrossed" with piano. And then, the greatest number on this CD, the title number "Twilight Of The Innocents". It is big, beautiful, pompous and mind-blowing. This number is one of the most anthemic and epic numbers made by Ash. The almost 7 minutes are hone so fast, and you just can't wait to hear it again.… Expand

    Not necessarily a bad record but one of Ash's weaker efforts, starts really
    welll but the 2nd half of the album completely fades off. Perhaps if they
    had combined the betters part's of their follow up A-Z series with the
    better parts of this they could have produced one really strong album.

    Twilight Of The Innocents re-announces the group's commitment to melody and proves they have successfully re-ignited their creative spark.

    Whilst Ash's signature energetic punk-pop pastiches are very much in evidence in the shape of "I Started A Fire," "You Can't Have It All" and "Princess Six," it's fair to say that they have managed to explore acres of new territory.

    Ash come close here to that which has always eluded them: an album that amounts to more than the sum of its singles.
