"Beautiful and powerful. This album harbours so many mind blowing moments. Ex-Cowboy is a work of absolute genius - probably my favourit piece of music of all time."
"Tense and sophisticated. My favourit debut album by anyone ever. This album is positively addictive. Each musician on this album consistantly shows great flair and imagination."
"No other band can make you feel like this. It shouldn't work. Lyttle has a terrible voice and the album sounds like it was recorded all in one take, but this intensifies how fragile the music feels."
"The Doves have pulled out a stonking album straight from the silky bag of goodness here. No weak spots and plenty of absolute belters. Uplifting but sad too."
"Majestic is probably the best word. Sweeping and sensual - they're good aswell. This is Iceland on a handy compact disk for you to play whenever you like. Smashing."
"S'all good, but Tramp the Dirt Down sets it apart from the other E. C. albums. This track spits bile at a certain person who I'm not very keen on. It instills anger in me like no other song. Genius."
