2.0 out of 5 stars Disapointingly average, September 6, 2007

I loved the first single "No Tomorrow", and particularly enjoyed the video - the model is super hot :). The track is energetic and has a great pop sensibility.

However, I was disappointed when I bought the album because, apart from the title track, which also has a very catchy chorus, the remainder of the album slips into the lower side of the mediocrity scale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Popmusic true to form, November 9, 2006

For those who know lots and lots of popmusic this album may come as a very nice surprise.

I can imagine what buying an early Beatles allbum must have felt like at the time.

Sheer excitement!

One tantilising song after another. Orson have toured the UK extensively

and took in the best of what's been around there since te stone-age

of popmusic (Beatles, not Stones!!) and the subsequent periods (XTC and later.)

The energy is everywhere, in the songs, the playing and the singing,

in the lyrics while the production is wide and sometimes hoarse.

This is popmusic true to form and at it's very best.

This CD is a great find. I would highly recommend it to someone who likes to listen to an album in it's entirety without getting bored by a repetitive sound!
