"This guy is versitile. From Reno 911 soundtrack to School of Rock (with Jack Black -- GO "D"!!!!) he really knows how to mix pop up to give it an indie feel. Lapland has moments of ambience and moments of serious rockin'. A great fluid and cohesive piece of work."

It's like Shudder To Think except more mellow and poppy!

"This is my favourite album from Craig Wedren. I like Pony Express and 50,000 B.C. very much but it all seems to come together with this album, 'Lapland'. Clearly Wedren is more 'loved-up' on this album than any of the Shudder To Think stuff. I mean, I couldn't imagine a lyric like "Scare the piss out of the bedpans" [Pony Express] appearing anywhere on this album - He seems to have mellowed out in a very respectable way. In other words, the songs haven't suffered in not having the usual edgy Shudder To Think approach. These songs are more conventional in their structure, to the point that I'd imagine that 'Do you harm' could be a hit if it were covered by a high-profile artist. That said, the songs do require repeated listening to 'get into' them. Wedren himself has a profile and singing style that do not lend themselves easily to daytime radio airplay.

The bottom line is that this is a great album and I haven't heard ANYTHING better in about a year or two!"
