"Not just a criminally good debut, a criminally good album. It's a real shame that artists like Paul Draper just do not seem to stand a chance in this world of mediocrity. Tisk, tisk. Apparently this album was pretty much already done when Radiohead was only getting started in recording their most..."  [+]  Reply

"For a mostly instrumental record, it does a good job conveying feelings and emotions. There's not a whole lot of variety here, but it's an hour well spent and I'd recommend listening to it at least once."  Reply

"As a 12 yr old I loved this album. I now see it for what it is; light weight dross. However, the man could sing. And Your the Voice is very good song Worthing some very mediocre tracks."  Reply

"2 things about your statement, chap. 1. What is 'realist' about the line 'fucking shredded wheat Kellogg's cunts on bleachers arcock?' - it's babble, a 21st Century James Joyce expect drunk on Special Brew and covered in his own piss on a park bench. 2. The whole album is nothing BUT a gimmick - ..."  [+]  Reply

"Due to the style of the songs, this album is never going to be rated a classic. Way too whimsical by half ! Very much of its time. However, having first heard it when I was 10, I have a lot of affection for it. The childlike quality of the songs appealed to me..and still does in a nostalgic way. ..."  [+]  Reply
