michael-knopp-87 I struggle to capture the varied and distinctive influences/styles throughout this fucking treasure.

Love/hurt and nail-biters have been on repeat for a good one or three hours and I don't intend on deviating from this plan. Favorite track: love/hurt.

Thunderlips Really enjoyable album. Fantastic pop punk done just right, good musicianship, distinctive vocals and cheeky lyrics. Like a combination of the Dresden Dolls and Spiderbait songs sung by Janet. Favorite track: break ur arm.

williammankelow It is a very genuine record, you really get a feel for who the band are. They have created this perfect combination of sounding like 20 different artists and at the same time creating their own unique sound. And most importantly, it makes me smile when I listen to it. Favorite track: my condolences.

love/hurt 02:08
it’s all such a drag i wanna clear my email inbox and hide away despite the fact that things don’t often work out for me what can i say i’m an optimist at heart u'd have to be (after seeing the things i’ve seen) there’s nothing left of god’s green earth that i won’t love that i won’t hurt i feel a great pain surging through me when i think of u ultimately i know that i’m am a human being too and i never felt more alive that when I’m gasping for air in the middle of the night there’s nothing left of god’s green earth that i won’t love that i won’t hurt
