I didn't know Flunk before this album, and I came across it just looking around. I think it's a great album, really chill melodies and beats. Unlike most downbeat albums each song has something unique about it.

For individual songs, Blue Monday, Honey's in Love and Kebab Shop 3am stand out from the rest.

Of all the Flunk albums I've heard...this one is my absolute favorite!

Just like the title of my review - it is Breathtaking, Hypnotic and Romantic.

Let this album take you away on a fantastic journey. It's that kind of an album.

If you only hear one Flunk album in your lifetime....this is the one. Love all of their albums!

..One drop in the ocean...just may be that magic potion...

Oh dear. Usually the Norwegian label Beatservice has good bands, but Flunk and their debut American release on Guidance, For Sleepyheads Only, don't quite make the cut. Their cover of New Order's "Blue Monday" feels lackluster, the female vocals wavy and weak. The male vocals on "Miss World" don't offer much of an improvement. Although "See Through You" matches the vocals to the music better, the instrumentals, like "Sunday People (Don't Bang the Drum)" are stronger -- but not by much. The album as a whole suffers from watered-down trip-hop syndrome. It might be pleasant to listen to overall, it really doesn't make any impression whatsoever.

My purchase went quickly and smoothly and I was notified as soon as my order was shipped. Unfortuntatley, the postal service lost my package and I never recieved it. But, the seller was very courteous and quick to refund my money when my package didnt arrive within the appropriate amount of time. I didnt even have to ask for a refund... it was just done without any hastle. I would definatley do service with them again due to the ease of the transaction and the trusting and hastle free refund. The only thing that I might suggest to do differently is to ship via UPS or FedEx so you can track your order.
