"1. Before you listen to this album be sure to download the "concept EP" spectrum/14th century by Owen pallett.

"Great production sound enhancing just meh songs.. Too self-consciously cool to really excite. We know where they got their gritty blues style from and they know that we know. Was there a Kills vs White Stripes fan war back in the day?"  Reply

"It becomes obvious when some people rating the album haven't even listened to it. *cough* nfsporto *cough*, 5/100. Seriously. Great album, first time listener to frightened rabbit and this is a wonderfully crafted album with some great songs. Recommend: state hospital, the woodpile, oil slick."  Reply
