ReviewsRanked #10 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "With precise guitars and jagged rhythmic angles, flushed with the arthouse swagger of Talking Heads and XTC...", 5 stars out of 5 - "A dynamic, direct debut from funky, punky junk-shop monkeys who strut, swagger and shrug nonchalantly.", Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "Their album is one killer song after another...", Ranked #51 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "A marriage of Britpop and post-punk....It won us over with its exuberance, hauteur and relentless songwriting.", 4 stars out of 5 - "They see things in their own way and the songs feel like they're boiling over, there's so much heat under them.", 4 stars out of 5 - "Utterly unique.
