"An underrated album by an underrated band. Their first two records are their most raw and also their most overtly political. These catchy songs never overstay their welcome and have things to say about war and imperialism that are, unfortunately, still relevant today. Best: Hustle Rose, Combat Ba..." [+] Reply

"A great debut from a band who strongly believes that punk is still relevant and shows it here and throughout the follow up. Nothing to Lose breaks my heart. There are at least eight great songs here, all together." Reply

"Few albums really rock as hard as this bad boy. I was a little turned off at first due to the weird style, and lack of coherent lyrics, but after a second listen I realised that this album pulls off a feat that few albums can achieve; and that's the ability to make me headbang and rock out like a..."

"It's like a version of Grimes that existed 10 years before her." Reply
"Very personal, as evidenced by tracks like "Mother & Father" (possibly the most revealing out of her entire career) - there are also messy tracks like "I'm So Stupid" and "Nobody Knows Me" that spill out self-truths and further contribute to the fact that it's her most personal statement. Elsewhe..." [+] Reply
"A decent album with some fine pop songs, but it just misses the mystique and atmosphere of the first album. Still, there's nothing wrong with the quality of music here, it's just I prefer the more interesting sounds of, felt mountain." Reply

"One of the most underrated albums ever created for me. Even though they dont invent or bring anything completely new to music. This is an astonishing piece of work, every song stands for itself, yet they work as a whole in the album." Reply

"It lumbers out literally with a mostly-uninteresting "shanty for the arethusa", but after that, there's no let up. "billy liar" is a jaunty farce starting "Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets / Staring over at the neighbor's, knickers down." Sarcastic ode "los angeles, i'm yours" backhanded..." [+] Reply

"For some reason I never noticed it before, but this album is a lot like Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden. And with each listen is grows more and more profound. From the poetic lyrics, to the brilliant musicianship that blends jazz and post rock into lush arrangements. It's an album that seems much simp..." [+] Reply
