"It's sad that no other Aztec Camera album shined like this one. "Oblivious" is downright contagious! Think of a soulful early-Smiths, or an entire CD in the mood of The Replacements' "Swingin Party"."
"Album #2 from the Reid brothers has them trading in the feedback frenzy of "Psychocandy" for a melodic sound more akin to the third Velvet Underground album (though with a drum machine)."
"Supposedly their complete works (not counting the live cassette-only release on K Records), this dandy bag of lo-fi fun features 3 songs that would later be covered by Nirvana."
"Only four songs, but there is just no better release by this band, save for "Heaven or Las Vegas", which sadly lacks the reverb-heavy wall-of-sound heard on releases such as this 4-song e.p."
"Of all the B&S e.p.'s thus far, this one is my favorite. The title song climbs to a noisy/chaotic/melodic crescendo reminding me of the cacophony near the end of The Smiths' "Death of a Disco Dancer"."
"Worth it just for "Tiny Meat"! Though that's not to say that the rest of the CD is anything less than pretty darn good. Still...nothing on here will stick in your head quite like "Tiny Meat" does."
"Sure...okay...it's true that nearly every song on here sounds a lot like Boston's "More Than a Feeling". And it's also true that these guys are pretty blatant in their love of Big Star. So what!"
"How to describe this CD...hmn... There's a definate Velvet Underground vibe, but really it sounds like if Evan Dando sang for Belle & Sebastian, & then you slowed the recording way down. Very pretty."
"The best release from this 80's 3-hit wonder, who managed to create a sound entirely their own. Stuart Adamson's recent suicide at an airport hotel in Honolulu seemed to go sadly unnoticed by most."
"Okay...really it's only the first two songs on here that still excite me, but everything on this CD spins circles around this band's most famous song, the astonishingly uninteresting "I'm Free"."
"Honestly, I've never heard this CD. But I simply ADORE the acoustic version of "Letter From America" included here. A million billion zillion times better than that stupid overplayed "500 Miles" song!"
"Like a semi-childish, hippie Belle & Sebastian, with near-gibberish lyrics. Note: there are TWO versons of this CD. This one (the NON-remastered one) has a far better recording of "Catch the Wind"."
