CD ReviewsAll Corkers! RichardHarrold | Leatherhead | 01/27/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Each song hits you like a wave of Bullets, making your Blood circulation race! This album is a real classic - it really deserves a 4 1/2 stars rating.Those guitars make me think a great deal about U2 (the drums also do this a bit), but Tom Smith's voice sounds as though he's the Brummie cousin of Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody, but has been taking singing lessons from Interpol's Paul Banks. Those synths also remind me of The Killers suffering cold turkey after coming off Heroin. These factors all contribute, along with Smith's songwriting, to a sound more miserable than Joy Division and Nirvana put together. Each song is either a real heartstring-tugger or is a great anthem (Bullets, Blood) with a driving beat from the powerhouse rhythm section."
