"This album has entered my Overall list at the expense of Burial’s EPs on their own which gives me room to add other deserving albums.

"Another great album from UMO. They're really great at mining totally fresh sounds by deconstructing various genres and pinching elements from all over the place. Hunnybee might be my favourite song of the year so far."  Reply

"It truly puzzles me that this man, along with his music, aren't far more popular. I suppose this really just goes to show that the 'Greatest albums of all time' are only the 'Greatest albums of all time' due to the combination of: 1. The obvious towering appeal of their music. And 2. (More import..."  [+]  Reply

"One of my favourite singles bands, it's only relatively recently that I've really started listening to their albums. This is their punk-pop beginnings and its a superb start, although probably not one for the listener who likes their more melodic later offerings."  Reply

"The fact that I had young daughters who listened to this incessantly and the fact that she is a Canuck breakthrough seriously colour my opinion of this. I for one cannot resist Nobody's Home. Do I find pleasure in this? Guilty!"  Reply

"This album is the result of a grueling amount of crap that Matthew Houck (aka Phosphorescent) had to go through following the release of “Here’s To Taking It Easy". According to him, he lost his girlfriend, was worn down by the road, and lost his place in New York. It had worn him down to almost ..."  [+]  Reply
