Reviews
4 out of 5 - "...Shimmering guitars haunt tormented tunes, dark gravel growls vie with Thom Yorke-y high notes....songs dawdle out of either a gentle whisper of sound or an awesome blurge of noise...", Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000"-"...The Soundtrack to Cheap Vino-And-Fag Sessions...", Ranked #6 in NME's "Top 50 Albums Of The Year" - "...Effortlessly moving and hugely popular at the same time...", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Straight-ahead, melodic Brit pop that strives for 'significance' with a capial 's'....The album rises above its influences to become a work of real transcendence...", Ranked #21 in Q's "Best 50 Albums of Q's Lifetime", Ranked #19 in Spin's "Top 20 Albums of the Year 2000" - "...They hoist their blue guitars and tug on Radiohead's cape....evoking the forgotten shoegazers like Ride....Chris Martin makes early-'90s nostalgia seem like the next frontier."
