TinaCJun 20, 2007No one should rate this album unless they've listened to it more than 5 times. It takes awhile to get used to but now I can't stop listening. See Voxtrot live if you can.

ShaunDMay 7, 2007This is probably some some of the best indie pop I've listened to in quite sometime. The album is loaded with so many wondeful songs, from Ghost, Kid Gloves, Stephen, Easy, Blood Red Blood and the best song on the whole LP, Firecracker. In the end, this is a terrific debut from a very talented Texas band. One of the best albums of 07.

mattaMay 21, 2007There is no way that I'm the only one who recognizes not only how much more inferior this is to their first two EP's, but also is just kind of MOR and at times, boring. A very disappointing LP from a band that showed promise. They should have released their first two EP's as their debut, that would have been amazing.

petercMay 26, 2007High expectations might fool you into thinking their debut LP is not as good as their first three EP's but this album is fantastic. Creative arrangements, perfect blend of pop and rock, and ramesh's songwriting deserves a big fat A+. it isn't a perfect because i think some songs are a little bit overdone but overall, it is a great pick up and i strongly recommend buying this album.

christianpJun 11, 2007why do people have expectations? it appears they have ruined what would otherwise be an exceptional album. voxtrot definately still has it. this is a promising DEBUT full-length. i think they are suffering what arcade fire is putting up with naysayers and the sophomore album. people shouldn't let one album (or 3 eps) define a band. let's see what happens next!

DontrelleMMay 16, 2007Terrific debut! Solid all the way through, not one weak track. The music just lifts my mood. This band is the next big thing! Trust me.

jwMay 24, 2007Great Debut, not as strong as the EPs but still.

DanSMay 28, 2007Completely agree with Matt A. This is sadly nowhere near as great as their first two EPs - Raised by Wolves and Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives. Granted, it is still fairly decent.. but the magic is gone.

ToledoSJun 18, 2007Rushed! They didn't gain anything by forcing this record out. In there defense however, they are trying to find themselves, or rather, distance themselves from what made them. Do them a favor, quit comparing them to the Smiths and Belle Sabastian. It will no longer serve them.

Mar 28, 2013Yep this album is perfect and I'm depressed because it's 2013 and they're gone. Hmmm. now The only question left 2 ask is............................Why

May 30, 2019Amazing!!!..........................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's an undeniable, infectious energy at work here which is put to great use with the self-deprecating humor and immense pop chops.

Under The RadarWhile those EPs were the energetic documents of a hungry band at a creative peak, [this album] too often seems to fall flat. [#17, p.88]

The writing, arrangement, and pacing is deliberate enough to create a sensible package yet light enough to invite a listener in.
