Professional Reviews

NME (Magazine) - "Ridiculous in the very best sense of the word. It's ridiculous in its genre-hopping musical scope, in the savagely barbed humour of the lyrics and, above all, in the remarkable strength of the songwriting that underlies it all."

Clash (magazine) - "The engagingly whole-hearted funk of `Snug Slacks' is knowingly sleazy and truly hilarious. It's yet another new angle for him to explore, but the many stylistic shifts are bizarrely smooth because of the true enormity of Grant's presence."
