"Dinosaur Act, particularly, is a song that has your finer emotions hammering at the back of your eyelids, desperate to get out. The rest of the album is just as heart breaking and heart swelling."
"An album flooded with the wonderful, murky atmosphere of the southern gothic tradition. It is haunting and so real, despite comprising murder ballads of ancient American folklore. Amazing."
"One of the great REM albums. Be Mine floats in space with the etheral wonder of drifting planets, Electrolite shimmers with beauty and E-Bow the letter thrums with almost religious wonder."
"Nick Cave should be made to break up with Polly Harvey on a yearly basis. The album bears testament to their relationship and is a thing of unfettered beauty."
"Sorry, but I heard of Badly Drawn Boy first, not you. But, whatever: this first album shambles with sad laughter like Buster Keaton. Who was also a genius."
