By far the tightest record SFA has released since Radiator -- boasting no song over five minutes and four clocking in under three -- this is a concise, song-oriented record, which is somewhat ironic since it began its life as something as a concept album.

By far the poppiest record the band have produced for an age, they should reach a wider audience than they’ve managed to do in more recent years. A truly stunning piece of work, and their shortest at just 36 minutes, is waiting to be the best-kept secret that everybody should know of 2007

Throughout, the Furries prove their mastery of numerous pop styles, although whether or not it proves popular remains to be seen.

11 years into their career, SFA have produced some of their most beautiful songs yet.

I like the very obvious Beatle inspiration. Not too much a fan of this guys voice though. It gets progressively less 'standard poprock' as the album goes on. Either in instrumentation or in structure, or both ('Battersea Odyssey') It occasionally even has some Animal Collective tendencies.
