"One the very first bands to herald the shoegazing revival (now in it's 8th year). Lesser Matters is a brilliant album chock full of indie-pop gems." Reply

"What a beautiful time to be 15 and still wonderful to hear this album again. Maybe we all still underrate it. Yes, The Smtihs captured the feelings of more teenagers, but they never reached this beauty, clear like a scottish stream. "We could send letters" may contain the most beautiful words fro..."

"This was the first Parsons Album I listened to. The Intro Song (Sirius/Eye in the Sky) is Just hypnotic. Other Key Tracks are 'Silence and I' and 'Wise and old'. The only problem I have with this album is, that it has too much pop. (Children of the Moon, Fingers Burned, psychobabble, Step by step..." [+] Reply

"I know a lot of fans were disappointed with this because they wanted more action, but just LISTEN to this! It's absolute bliss to the ears! Every sacred second on this album is a treasure, the songs flow like clear water, the emotion that's packed in here is beautifully immense. Flawless!" Reply

"This is certainly a better "album" for Coldplay, inasmuch as it works a relatively cohesive collection of songs that are meant to work with each other. Granted, this is not perfect by any stretch. Chris Martin is still one of the least impressive lyricists, but even the stripped back instrumental..." [+] Reply

"A trip around the world with Frank Sinatra, all the way from exotic booze in Bombay to pizza in his very own living room, come fly with me, follows Frank from Capri to Vermont, from Paris to Hawaii. Some great songs in the title track, let's get away from it all, and, Brasil. An enjoyable record ..." [+] Reply

"This album is just fucking amazing. I don't know why this hasn't been getting more attention. It's style is something I'm in love with. It's catchy and pop, but experimental and fresh at the same time. I will loop it for the next couple of days. Favorite songs: Velvet 4 Sale, Poem, Time" Reply

"For a guy who plays the piano, this debut has precious little of that instrument...and that's a good thing. This is power pop at it's finest. The songs are catchy but deep and Joe's sarcastic flare was never better. I remember hearing this album for the first time a few months after "Night and Da..." [+] Reply
