"A superb run through of the stoner crowd through every generation: from surfy-art-rock to sleepwalking shoegaze, but all of them are brilliant pop songs and are surprisingly accessible."
"There are plenty of Go-Betweens albums worth your attention but this one (despite the god-awful slushy title) is a pop masterpiece full of literately emotional lyrics and perfect-as melodies."
"The sound of society's slow collapse. Orchestral apocalypse themed post-rock that sidesteps pretension purely by being beautiful as hell and crammed with great ideas and resounding human emotion.."
"Impressive enough without the fact that they were already obscenely ambitious to start with, but this time everything is refined, fine-tuned, but equally jaw-dropping."
"Sepia-tinged, muscular country rock, obsessed with the murkier side of American folklore. It's also one of the most under-rated albums I've ever heard..."
"Like driving on freezing Alaskan highways to sit by the fire of a haunted house. It has both a warm and ghostly feel to it, especially with its sudden flourishes of almost Disneyish strings and flutes"
"This though, is arguably their best record. Recorded in a laundry room on a tape recorder with few rehearsals, it sounds shabby but after a while the songs show themselves as perfect."
"Soaked in bloody American folk-lore of the deep South and supernatural stories of sex and death, the band’s debut is one of those brilliant records which sounds simultaneously new and ancient."
