"Favourite album from my favourite band - the vinyl album was a 14th birthday present! Although this is their first and best full length album they are so much more than the Safety Dance. Got this album in 1983 and still listen to it regularly today. Also managed to get hold of the rare first issu..."  [+]  Reply

"Reminds me of the late fifties style music, where the subjects are straightforward and deal with unrequited love or love gone wrong. That's not to say this records sounds dated; on the contrary, Solomon delivers with a unique and passionate voice. And his cover of "He'll gave to go" is flat out a..."  [+]  Reply

"I’ve been following Mackenzie Scott’s unique stylings of raw vocals and introspective lyrics for a while now and for 2020’s strong ‘Silver Tongue’ I wrote - “Each album has been progressively more assured and here on album number 4 she has released her best album to date . I’ve no doubt the maste..."  [+]  Reply

"A truly annoying album that deserves the relative obscurity it has earned, despite the pleadings of a few delusional music critics. Sal Valentino's vocals combine the nasal tone of Dylan with the irritating vibrato of Tiny Tim for a rather brutal 1-2 punch to the nerves. The music isn't completel..."  [+]  Reply

"This album has been on my wish list for a long time, so I feel I should point out that I have highly anticipated it for a few months, just incase that affects my opinion. This album had alot to live up to, it was released after a run of classic albums, but does it live up to them? Yes and no. Bro..."  [+]  Reply

"Make no mistake, this is Brit-pop, but instead of the revivalism hawked by Viva Brother this is a fine addition to the lineage started by The Beatles and recently updated by the likes of Blur and The Libertines. Although their love of Pete'n'Carl may be a bit too obvious at times, their tunes (of..."  [+]  Reply
