UncutThe New York threesome have just about enough tunes to pull it off. [Jun 2009, p.93]
-
While it’s not a bad debut, it’s nothing special either.
-
It's worth stifling the disdain long enough to hear this album, which isn't nearly as irritating as it ought to be.
-
Q MagazineThis is indie rock with plenty of funk, snaking basslines and wah-wah guitar. [May 2009, p.119]
-
The melodies are often limp, the rhythm section disappointingly friction-free, and Cumming’s main lyrical M.O. is to name-drop coke constantly, like the doofus at a party who mistakes a key bump for a badge of cool.
-
Under The RadarAt their best, The Virgins come off as a pale imitation of The Cars. At their worst, it’s The Strokes meets Franz Ferdinand without any bite. [Summer 2008]

MusicM.Jun 17, 2008Ten sharp, punchy, and well-produced tunes. If the major labels could turn out this kind of product regularly, they might have a brighter future.
