Rambling Charm

"I wasn't crazy about this record the first time through -- it felt unfocussed and rambling. But then it crept up on me the same way The Libertines did. In fact, rambling is part of its charm. These 9 cuts are the sound of English boys figuring out their place in the world -- if they sound confused, it's because they are. But guitars and drums and bass help them find their way, especially on the confessional "Things I've Done Before", and the lover's kiss off "Lights Out"."
A nice discovery

"It's the kind of thing you need to listen to when you think you must have heard all good music in the entire world ... once you've heard this record, you know there's hope and much more !!!"
