An absolutely blinding album, and even tracks left off the album like Hummer and Astronauts and All could have been on it and wouldnt have lost any quality. Some of their B-Sides are quality as well. Been on heavy rotation on my cd player for months.

Great pick.

This thread needs more replies! Great album, got it the day it came out and been listening to it often enough ever since. They know how to put on a good live show too!

The album cover is ****.

Cool album, love the early singles too. They really get my feet tapping when I'm driving. I nearly want to dance sometimes listening to cassius on my Ipod, I'd look like a looper so I try to keep reserved.

Great album, picked it up myself last week. Ive had it on constantly since then, I hear their live stuff is much better. Must get my hands on some of that material

I've only started coming around to this band. Cassius absolutely did my head in, the first few times I heard it. Also, they seemed to be the new darlings of the UK music press, especially the NME, which sent my bull**** detector into overdrive.

Cassius has really grown on me since then and I absolutely adore Olympic Airways, plus they there's been a few people praising them on this forum. So, i've literally just got the album today. Too early to pass judgement really but first impressions are strong.

Just got this album actually, listening now. Got it on the basis that Cassius has been stuck in my head after seeing the video once. I'll give it a good chance. Band look like a bunch of muppets though.
