"This record makes grown men cry. Losers, I know, but it doesn't mean that this album isn't one of the all time greats. An album about lonely towns, lost love and, eventually. redemption."
"The first time I listened to this I thought it was a half hearted attempt but I was wrong. I come back to it over and over again. Mysterious and great."
"Hard and soft in equal measures. Mainly home recorded but no less great for it. He actually bothers to write lyrics worth listening to. One of those albums you are lucky to find. Beautiful pop music."
"An obvious one I know but it deserves to be here. "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind..." stop it Morrissey, I'm filling up!"
"There is just something great about Scottish pop and this album is one of the best Scottish pop albums of all time. And it contains 'Alcohilday' The best use of the 'f' word in a song ever."
