I have to admit this wasn't what I was expecting from a GA album. However, first listen .. a little shocked, by the second I was warming up, by the third I was absolutely loving it.
So what's it like? Well - I'd say it's 80'5 retro electronica revival, with a hint of trance. Different, fresh yet familiar all at the same time. Truly excellent.
As ever with Groove Armada, not what you expect, but brilliant, their best for years. March 19, 2010

I've been a fan from the start and I'm waiting for them to go downhill like most of your favourite bands, but I cannot praise them enough for this. It takes a few listens like I find with most of their work, an 80's sound throughout with a 90's rythm and a truly innovative, modern feel. 'Cards to your heart' is a fantastic Groove Armada classic, uplifting, great piano and great song and the rest more than stands its ground. Just buy it.
Different but very good February 18, 2010

Many GA fans will find this a major change of direction. I disagree with Jo's review totally. The production is great, the choice of songs brilliant, I particularly like Shameless, Paper Romance and I won't kneel. It is a really innovative record from a group who have been around for over 10 years. I am loving it!!!GO to the live shows which are coming up at the beginning of March, a live set from GA is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant return to form May 14, 2010

I found Soundboy Rock a little disappointing but this is a welcome, if unexpected, return to form for the GA guys....it perfectly mixes then and now, rock and electronica, guitars and computers...it is uplifting while also giving time for reflection and sentiment.
I can't stop listening to it...I love it and I cannot wait to see them at Glastonbury this year!
Buy it for "History" alone April 4, 2010

Whilst I have always quite like and admired Will Young, I can safely say I am not a fan of his music. Its quite a surprise to be playing the last track of this album featuring his guest vocals repeatedly. History is an amazing track and superb reinvention of small town boy by bronski beat. Has to be a single at some point, very subtle, gentle but brilliant.
