"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

"Something For Kate will be remembered if only for 'Monsters' from this album. But the album has a lot to offer and was one album I listened to constantly after its intial release. My all-time favourite Aus album."  Reply

"Very underappreciated band. This is my favourite album of theirs. They've written some real feel-good rock anthems. This one contains two of the best of them - Seven Days In The Sun and Buck Rogers."  Reply

"I did not get the music of this band at all. A mix of Johnny Cash, Dylan, and Elvis Costello. The vocals were lazy and dreamy, but most of the songs were not very cool."  Reply

"Originally my Number One album of 2001, in a year that I saw her live, which may have had some influence on my feelings toward this album. I still love this one, even though it's a change of pace from her classic previous release, Car Wheels. This one is much more bare and subtle than the classic..."  [+]  Reply

"Not the most exhilarating album. Lyrics are really bad, it's overproduced I think, songwriting is generic, sounds the same as every Southamerican pop record. I know some people won't agree with this (eg. "be opeen-minded!"), but I just can't see a good side of the record, and the half-nude pictur..."  [+]  Reply

"Gah! I couldn't disagree with you more, found out about this on the same thread as you although I think the sound is even better than on UP for many of the tracks (Shadowplay, Disorder and Transmission) Best live album ever (after stop making sense)"  Reply

""Resurrection" definitely belongs among the best Divine Comedy albums. The production is clearly better than on the previous Setanta releases Setanta; not least thanks to producer Nigel Godrich who has created a much more modern "Britpop" sound. Unfortunately the album was more an artistic succes..."  [+]  Reply

"Good alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 81,2/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Solid album without highs and lows.
