kwyjibojDec 7, 2004I bloody loved their first album. It was amazing. But this second one, is not. Its quite poor, there are no killer riffs in the style of "getaway" or "the truth is no words". Gone is the dance music influence, and instead we get a subpar rock record from a band which once looked to be on the cusp of world domination.

BlenderAs hipsters, the Yorkshire quartet are still total non-starters, but [North] sees producer Brendan O'Brien honing their gonzo essence to more sizeable effect. [Nov 2004, p.138]
