I bought this album off the strength of the single 'run'. Run is indeed a very good song, and there are a few other songs on this album that I would say are of the same style and quality (namely 'How to be Dead', 'Spitting Games', 'Chocolate' and 'Little Tiny Fractures'). The rest of the songs on this album are ok, but nothing to write home about. They don't have particularly gripping melodic lines like Run does, and I quite often skip them when I am listening to the album. The five songs I have mentioned are wonderful, and have good lyrics and melodies. It's just a shame that the rest of the tacks don't live up to the standard of these.

Run is definately the best song on this album. Overall, some of the other songs seem a little unoriginal, and sound a bit like eachother. They are also far less obviously melodic than Run. If you are looking for an album that is filled with the same beauty as run, then this is not it. However, it does have some good tracks on, so although I was initially disapointed that it wasn't what I hoped it would be, I do like it. I just don't like all of it.

I love this album and don't think there is a single duff track on it. "Run" is the best but "Chocolate", and "Spitting Games" are up there too, as well as the excellent "We can run away now they're all dead and gone" Lexy
