"This album is a bit uneven and while the guys in Stereophonics sometimes make interesting music, they still sound rather boring and "viscous" from time to time. Songs like the melodic "Maybe tomorrow", the rocking "Madame Helga", the heavy "High as the ceiling" and the sentimental "Nothing precious at all" makes it worth to buy the album. But in my opinion this effort includes too many mediocre and even dull songs. Bits and pieces makes me think of Cracker's "Forever" even `tho this album is far more rocking and raw. Singer Kelly Jones sings just as rough as Keith Richards look. Anyway, Sterephonics are doing a decent job preventing rock `n' roll from dying, but buried six feet under a pile of commercialized radio pop it's hard to be heard. Help them out!"
