"Steve Diggle is an extremely underrated songwriter & this is an extremely likeable collection of songs. An easy on the ear rock album, buzzing with riffs & catchy choruses. The acoustic-only numbers in particular showcase Diggle's melodiously gruff vocals.
Fans of his work with Buzzcocks will find this album a bit more refined but just as pleasing. Diggle has always had a great ear for "perfect" power-pop & "Some Reality" is a continuation of his fine talents. Also recommended is the "Best Of" CD containing his post-Buzzcocks solo & Flag of Convenience material."

"I think it's safe to say that this is one of the best records I've ever heard. All of the songs are really simple and catchy. The lyrics aren't very deep, the guitar sounds like it could have been played by a first-year student, and the order of the songs makes no sense at all. What more could you want? Someone once said that if Bob Dylan had been a mod, he would have been Steve Diggle. That's what I imagine every time I hear it. BUY IT NOW, please."
