The general sound on the album is rougher than on the following albums. But the album is actually a fine mixture of hard-rocking tunes and melod..." [+] Reply

"Listening to this was an interesting experience. The whole dreamy vibe, with the strange echoey production especially on the classic opener "The Dolphins" sounded so unique.

"A seriously great collection of energetic and dirty sounding songs. The vocals and distorted instruments go so well together. I can't believe these guys aren't more talked about. This and their even better follow up are two of the best albums of the era. Each song on the album can stand on its ow..." [+] Reply

"A surprisingly good album. There are points where his youth shows but I thought it would be much more juvenile. Tim uses his accented voice like on Hello Goodbye and I prefer his more free vocals that started on Happy Sad but they're still fantastic vocals. He puts together some really nice melod..." [+] Reply

"An A-side to die for followed by a rather disappointing B-side (not bad, mind you, just a disappointment when following what came before it).
