"Wonderland condensed. You might bump and trip and hurt yourself on the way down but you'll be too thrilled to notice. Similar to hypnosis, but 100x catchier. You're really missing out if you ignore this one- it's a delicious treat." Reply

"I am not a big Manics fan but this is right up there. Dark, dirty and deep with great melodies, cut throat guitar and the sort of lyrics that lead you to understand why Richie couldn't go on. Full of raw power, emotion and soul this is seminal and 100 shades darker than most self professed angry ..." [+] Reply

"This is an album that is so short and sweet and it is packed full of enjoyable moments that make it so easy to fall in love with. Tracks like Computer World and Computer Love are so catchy and have such an amazing rhythm that you feel like you are getting infected by them. Musically, it can sound..." [+] Reply

"Amazingly original, this rock symphony of sorts redifined what could top the charts. The first half is energetic and shows us a wealth of ideas, while the second half is more relaxed and ambient, developing individual ideas more." Reply

"This is such a great album. It should be number one in 2002 over the great 4 alt/indie albums of that year which I still love, Rush of Blood To the Head, Turn On the Bright Lights, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and Yankee Foxtrot Hotel. This is so different and so much more and I know why it's..." [+] Reply
