"Infectious, immediate and relentless math rock greatness. Foals' debut is just filled with this unrestrained momentum bursting through every song. I may be biased because I've listened to it so much, but there isn't a skippable track on this album. Quite possibly my favorite math rock record ever..." [+] Reply

I consider this their best album in that it represents such a nice blend of both styles..." [+] Reply

"Totally brilliant, there is not one bad song here. The fact that it has come in for harsh criticism and is generally undervalued is more a reflection on listeners than the band themselves. If you like poncey, girlie-whirlie, indie schmindie that couldn't rock it's way out of a paper bag don't bot..." [+] Reply

"I've been looking for a Black Keys album that worked for me. I am pretty sure this is the one. It's got the rawness of the earlier albums but with better production" Reply
