3.0 out of 5 stars Starts well.... 31 Aug 2011
Format:Audio CD
I bought this album on the strength of some good things said about the band by Marc Riley. I didn't really know which album to go for, so I just guessed based on reviews. I've had it a while now, but don't really listen to it that much.

It starts really well, which always makes me wonder why I don't put it on that often. I really enjoy the first few songs, but slowly it starts to become more and more difficult to listen to - until the point where I usually stop what I'm doing and stare at the hi-fi in disbelief. I find the lyrics become very difficult to listen to and they ultimately become a distraction. I read someone on here praise the lyrics. Maybe there are some great lyrics, but perhaps they are better suited to spoken-word ideas that musical ones. It's almost as though they bend the music to the lyrics - some 'chorus hook-lines' can be painfully long.

Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe they're a great band to see live. I don't know. I just know that I bought this cd and don't listen to it very often. I have tried, but it's a difficult one for me. I gave it 3 stars because there are some good tracks at the beginning of the album.

This bunch are the only band I know from the Leicestershire Wolds. And by the sound of it they are a bunch of nutters out there, living on the fringe of civilised Loughborough. What am I saying? According to frontman and lyricist David Tattersall, a man who is wonderfully unhinged, Loughborough is as rough as houses. And the women in Walton-on-the-Wolds sound frightening! Tattersall's neck of the woods is often name-checked in his rich tales of life's underbelly; his warped sense of humour make this an album to treasure. Yet despite his stinging denigration of the area, I get the impression that these songs are his terms of endearment for The Wolds, his maps of meaning within a wider universe. Uniquely British in flavour, this set is up there with "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" in terms of social commentary. Tattersall's sharp observations have drawn comparisons to Hefner. I must also mention the laugh-out-loud lyrics on "I Love You Like a Madman", a track that deploys the best brass within an indie-alternative framework since Blaggers ITA on "Abandon Ship." This lot should be as massive as the Arctic Monkeys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing i've heard in 2008 21 May 2009
Format:Audio CD
What an album. 13 tracks of lo-fi catchy pop perfection, the closest thing in quality to hefner at their pomp. not a bad song on here and some fantastic lyrics with "a sculpture is a sclupture and marmalade is maramalade, but a sculpture made of maramalade is a sculpture and it isn't marmalade" is probably one of the best lyrics i've ever heard for a long while. The way they bring vivid images to your mind with every lyric is just brillent
