More great tunes - By: B. C. Winter, 28 Aug 2008 
All right, I am a bit late off the mark with this review and, I have to be honest I only got this coz Tesco were flogging it cheap but I am glad I did. I put thisin the cd player, sat back, & then jumped up for joy at the sheer energy that came from the speakers from this album. I am not saying it is wall to wall sunshine, but, nearly all of the tracks were upbeat & uplifting. A Sadness Runs Through Him was for me the only track that I did not really like that much, but that may just be me. This is Brit guitar pop at its best. It is funny that I picked this up at the same time as picking up The Clash singles album which was also going cheap too. Does that say anything, maybe, but I would urge you to at least give this a good listen & judge for yourself. An all round fine album.
Dross... - By: J. Bowden, 23 Aug 2008 
As appaling albums go this just about takes the biscuit, about as unnorigional as muisc could possibly be. Although its a good indicatian of where music is going nowa days, over commercialized vomit... could only possibly be enjoyed by tasteless, immature, 4 year olds.
Terribly disappointing - By: Samantha Gregory, 01 Aug 2008 After hearing "Worried About Ray" & "Goodbye Mr. A" I was quite excited about this album. I expected a bit of feel-good bouncy pop music, but those were easily the two best tracks. My high expectations probably contributed to my disappointment, but it wasn't a great album. Now I've listened to it a few times I'm not sure I'd even call it a good album. The singles have been overplayed, now when I hear those tracks I loved I have to change stations. It's an album I highly doubt I'll play for quite a long time.
A whimsically fun and bizarre album - By: Steven Stewart, 27 Jul 2008 
The Hoosiers, when first breaking onto the scene could only be described as weird, yet unique. They gave us a sound that we truly don't hear that much on todays pop music scene, they present originality & simplicity to their music. The lead singer Irwin Sparks has saidin interviews that the band wanted to be known as an Indie band but they're not cool enough, but let me tell you when comparing the Hoosiers to other "Indie" bands on the scene at the moment they're quite easily the best at what they do. Sparks has also noted that the Hoosiers sound is a blend of all music genres & they have named it "Odd Pop" it's pop that's a bit odd.
Citing their inspirations as being The Cure, The Flaming Lips & XTC you can certainly see the inspiration when listening to the album as most every song has a completely different feel to it. My personal favourites of the album are the up beat songs such as Goodbye Mr. A & Cops & Robbers, but I most certainly love nearly all the songs on the album with the exception of Worst Case Scenario whichin my opinion is the worst song on the album.
My Top 5
1. Cops & Robbers
2. Killer
3. Goodbye Mr. A
4. Worried About Ray
5. The Trick To Life
Brilliant album that should be owned by everybody with a light hearted look at music.
The Trick is this is Crap - By: D. Cooley, 02 Jul 2008 Probably the worst album to be released since the cover of the beatles album abbey road by St Thomas school for the deaf.
