...The Automatic: A Cardiff based four-piece student band who have been riding the tidal wave of success since the release of their single "Monster" in 2006. The band, who formed loosely at the age of twelve, and after some re-grouping, became The Automatic, released their debut single in 2005. "Recover" is virtually unheard of due to the fact only 1500 copies were ever produced and didn't even give the band a stepping-stone towards chart success. Their second single "Raoul" released in 2006 went to number 32 but faced the same dismal incompetence as the first.

...That the Get Up Kids chose to follow up the stunning 'Four Minute Mile' LP with this collection of dross is unforgivable, but seeing as it's been a few years now, I guess we'll have to accept the fact that it marked the down turn in a once promising career. 'Four Minute Mile' was a collection of essential emo-pop tracks, full of energy, passion and fun, whilst this record sees the Get Up Kids fall back on to dreary pop and lifeless rock. There are moments, 10 Minutes is mostly good, but when you hear the re-recorded "I'm A Loner Dottie" track, you'll shudder if you ever heard the original. Sadly, the Get Up Kids got even worse (shudder!) after this CD, and quickly became a footnote in a genre. A shame.... Read review
