Opening track 'Prisoner' is simply amazing & is a continuation from their initial 3 five track vinyl & CD EPs but with a slight transformation taking us more into an explosive thundering Kraftwerk/Pink Floyd/Future Sound Of London/Coldplay type territory even if it is not really like any of those. You should play this opening track a few times before you proceed any further as it's quite mesmerising. A berserk drummer (what a drummer) & a crazed female singer plus a female keyboardist (the brilliant Heather) who has also now gone bonkers & a still seemingly in control guitarist is buried within all of this as he introduces the build up with those ringing Floydish chords. It is a simply astonishing start. Maybe you don't need to go any further & just put this on endless re-play. Next 'Endless Summer' is more of this explosive kind & carries on some of the traditions of Aussie bands of the 80s like Choir Boys/Triffids. The songs have no choruses as this seemingly unusual story of inspired intense love unfolds with often Hayley singing about a "her" or a "she" hence some mystery "I've been on fire to go inside her" & "even in the way she walks" as whether she is singing from a male point of view or female or whether it is her love for the Aussie landscape of which unusual images are scattered in the CD booklet or all 3? 'Long Highway' as Hayley's Cyndi Lauper type supercharged vocals from this fragile looking female "hear me roar" is 100% emotion. Also brilliant, 'Try Colour' continues this huge sound with thundering drums & synthesizers - could such gentle looking people create such a huge tough sound. In fact the album is just like one long track & the remaining numbers are 'Rosebud', 'City Girl', 'Nobody Nowhere', 'Austerlitz' (a reflective instrumental which seems like an album closure before exploding again into further high energy), 'Deep Wide Ocean', 'Peace Of Mind', 'Reprise', and then grand finale 'Catch Me' "and in the towns that I love love love love" is another slab of total brilliance. Perhaps some things slightly missing are a really killer melody plus it's also slightly one dimensional & also not an easy work to get into but nevertheless the production, outstanding performance & interesting lyrics carries this beautiful & astonishing work into the stratospheres. Forget the media's yearly top album awards for 2011 this was or is the best.

I had every track the Jezabels had released before and bought this album the day it came out. It took me about 6 times listening through to start loving it properly, but since then I can't listen to anything else. Amazing stuff - they are just terrific. At first there seems no stand-out track, and then they grab you by the throat - Rosebud was a sleeper that becomes perfection. I love the complexity of their music and the musicianship is the highest. This group packs a huge punch. It's a shame the album is so hard to buy - they deserve to sell it in the millions. And why so expensive on Amazon???

This album is an incredible debut for the Jezabels. Each track is strong individually, but they combine to make a truly amazing musical experience that shows there is, in fact, hope for modern music! The singer has a beautiful voice and an original style, and there are a number of particularly effective combinations between the keyboards and guitars. The only problem they face is how on earth to create a followup album that matches this!
