I think on this album you can hear their style is changing a bit compared to their debut album 'A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation'. I feel there are a lot more synth influences in their music than before, in a good way. Personally I love that (being a Jean-Michel Jarre fan too). Secondly I think the way the songs are composed is actually very clever. To give an example, the second verse in Be your shadow isn't simply a slight variation of the first, but comes with a 'surprise' pre-chorus. They hardly ever repeat themselves. That goes for the lyrics too. Not that there's much of a problem remembering them... At least I find myself belting out the lyrics in my car every now and then. I can also recommend the online bonus tracks that come with this album, a couple of live versions and remixes of some of the tracks. It just goes to show they're rather good live too. And that's what I love about quite simply highly talented musicians.Read full review

Uplifting from start to finish, wry wombat lyrics underpinned by really catchy tunes, a stunning album.. a must have album for any true indie fan, one of the best 250 albums ever made?

I love this album and there are some really good tracks on this album with clever lyrics. The singles that were released on this album like Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves), Jump into the Fog and Anti-D are also really good songs. I love all the songs on this album but have to say that Techno Fan is my favourite. I would say that this album is slightly better than their first album (A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation) but if you haven’t heard their first album, BUY IT. I bought this album because I liked their first album and their follow up album certainly didn’t disappoint so buy it now.
Wombats rock...they've got sooo much better since their first CD which I thought could be bettered!!! But they have done it and are legends!!!!
