What a debut! Perfect melodies, stunning arrangements, and clear production.

Un álbum genial. Me encantó el sonido sucio/distorsionado de las guitarras, le da una atmosfera underground, muy parecido a lo que hacían bandas como Pixies o Sonic Youth. La primera canción "Get Away" es sin duda, lo mejor del álbum, su intro de guitarra en conjunto con el estribillo pegadizo la hacen genial. "Suicide policeman" y "Operation" son otras 2 muy buenas canciones que merecen ser destacadas. El resto de las canciones mantiene la calidad y termina siendo un álbum sumamente recomendable si te gusta el "rock alternativo", "noise-rock" o "Garage Rock".

English review.
A great album. I loved the noise-rock sound, it gives it an underground atmosphere, very similar to bands like Pixies or Sonic Youth used. The first song "Get Away" is undoubtedly the best of the album, its guitar intro together with the catchy chorus make it great. "Suicide policeman" and "Operation" are 2 other very good songs that deserve to be highlighted. The rest of the songs maintain the quality and ends up being a highly recommended album if you like "alternative rock", "noise-rock" or "Garage Rock".

This album very easily glides from one subgenre of rock to the next and really does take you on a musical journey through 90's era rock music, as that is what it is so heavily inspired by. It is both erratic and fun with the first few tracks and then also slower and more relaxing near the end providing a nice contrast. The second half is definitely the weaker however and some tracks do feel like they never really get going and struggle when compared against songs like Holing Out and Get Away. The guitar work on this record is brilliant and is a real highlight for me especially on the closing track, Rubber, where it sounds so heavy and ends the album in style. An album that is definitely worth listening to and without the slower songs I would definitely rate it higher than I have.

This has long time been my top album of the decade. Now it isn't any more but it's still top and if you would ask me about my favorite track of the decade than Holing Out would certainly be a contender: they use every trick in the book to make this one of the most dynamic songs you'll ever hear (Teenage Fanclub on speed wouldn't be a bad comparison). But also the rest of the album including the slower songs are nowhere below great.

I probably would have liked this in high school.
