"We live in times that just werent meant for records like this they require you to sit and listen , this record is a thing of beauty that could easly sit aside anything bands like oasis the verve the beatles have done , the music has brilliant hard driving guitar tracks with swirling mellotrons and epic string laden tracks then there are the mid temp tunes that are pure mcarntey circa revlover , this is a record that if you love 60s rock n roll you will ove with a passion i know i do its brilliant one of the best of 2003"

"This is a group who have conquered Australia, left them bleeding, and who have hung out in the US for a while. It is based around the songwriting skills of Matthew J. Tow who sometimes plays this year with Brian Jonestown Massacre. There is a Beatles/Oasis feel to many of the songs on this record. But singer/songwriter Tow comes out of the wreckage sounding like his own man. The songs are good and distinct all around. "The Sound and The Fury" and "Guiding Star" are some of their better songs. The mix of acoustic and electric guitars sound like the best thing since Bowie and Mick Ronson stood in a room together. I caught the live show and the Lovetones live are equally brilliant. Tow's voice is very tender and moving. I suggest that you go see them if you can. I wish that they would play more. This is a trip."
