"After a promising start, a very good first album and a strong follow-up, what on earth happened! Rod Stewart covers and duets with Tom Jones killed this band from here album on. Completely lucklastre"
"The Man Who... hinted at things to come, but at least had a few half-decent tunes...this is cringe-inducingly poor, lyrically, musically, I could go on, it is that bad! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!"
"This album seemed cool to own for a while (if you were between 12-16 - I therefore didn't), but the overplaying of 'How You Remind Me' highlighted all that's bad about this cod-angst-ridden US drivel"
"What can I say? They are NOT talented (the drummer can't actually play). It's safe music at it's worst, playing up to their Irish roots. There are copies on this website for 25p - need I say more?"
"The depth of ill-feeling I have for this band worries me, but it is simplistic, formulatic, souless music which respects none of the sources of borrows from. Singles remixed, albums re-released...."
"See above - more of the same, but with decreasing dividends, fortunately! I truly hope they don't come back! And yes it was also re-released an number of times! (Special/Bonus Edition no. 4 anyone?)"
"As bad as the Corrs (if that's possible), but killing country rather than Irish music. Completely formulatic, contrived, with no talent involved whatsoever"
"Was she in a coma when this was written/recorded? Her first album was decent enough, but this lacks any soul, every song is a sad ballad, the arrangements are shallow and the lyrics are often awkward"
"Never the most original of bands, this plumbed new depths after the dodgy 'Be Here Now'. A crisis of confidence - surely not. Things have again improved since"
"This is only here in this atrocious company because it put me off REM until the recent 'Reveal' album revived my interest. Not up to the usual standard."
