    I was looking forward to hearing this album when I read some reviews comparing it with good 70's pop/rock such as ELO or Supertramp. Although I can hear a few similarities here and there, the difference is...this album is boring. The lyrics are laughable in parts and vocals are pretty average. Most importantly, the melodies are neither clever nor memorable, which is something I was looking forward to hearing this album when I read some reviews comparing it with good 70's pop/rock such as ELO or Supertramp.

    I would rather roast my testicles over a blazing inferno than listen to Twelve Stops and Home. Possibly the worst compilation of crap going, and theres pleanty of that going around at the minute. Never be lonely is also one of the most unimaginative, relentlessly repetative and fucking appaling songs I have ever heard in my life.

    this is quite simply the worst excuse for a band I have ever heard, the songs sound like they were written by a tone deaf 12 year old who listened to a few too many nursery rhymes as a child, I love it when you call sounds like it is a novelty record such is my surprise that anyone would actually buy it. I am staggered they have fooled so many people into thinking that this can even be this is quite simply the worst excuse for a band I have ever heard, the songs sound like they were written by a tone deaf 12 year old who listened to a few too many nursery rhymes as a child, I love it when you call sounds like it is a novelty record such is my surprise that anyone would actually buy it. I am staggered they have fooled so many people into thinking that this can even be passed off as music let aloone something emotional or inspiring. who buys this shit? I would rather rip off my own ears and replace them with salted peanuts than be forced into listening to this shite - this sort of crap sums up what is wrong with the music industry at the moment… Expand

    Unlistenable. It's the musical equivalent of a lobotomy.

    Relentlessly bland and bourgeois, "Twelve Stops And Home" sounds like the product of focus-group analysis.

    Quite simply, this record is the devil's spawn incarnate.

    [They] are so busy trying to be Supertramp they've forgotten to add anything of themselves. [3 Jun 2006, p.35]
