Don't wait to buy this album!! - By: Guitar Heroine, 08 Nov 2008 
This album is brilliant,and although it sounds typical of its genre, it sounds unique & it does not sound boring or generic.
Instead, you can expect track after track of infectiously catchy, punchy, indie pop-rock with great instrumentals & vocals as well as well thought out lyrics.
You've undoubtly heard I Found Out. If you liked that song, you will like the rest of the album. There are no throwaway tracks on this album & each is as good as the rest.
Brilliant upbeat album - By: Ali, 07 Sep 2008 I borrowed this album off a friend having never heard the Pigeon Detectives before & within a couple of days of having listened to the odd song i found myself in love with this album.
Absolutely brilliant upbeat songs with a few slower but still cheerful songs. Doesnt get boring easily, despite a lot of listening. Pretty unique (as far as i've heard). Catchy.
Lyrics good
Melodies great
End result: 10/10 :)
I recommend this to anyone who likes The Wombats, The Fratellis, The Kooks, & most people who like The Killers ( for a slightly less depressing experience :) )
Well what do i need to say.......... - By: Mr. D. S. Rees, 06 Jun 2008 Never reallly been a fan of the indie scene & more of a metal fan myself, i went to see this band due to my friend buying tickets & needing someone to go with him. Live, they were fantastic which surprise surprise led me to buy this album which is so so catchy & to be honest just brilliant. so yeah buy it!!!
Best songs:
-I Found Out
-Take her back
caught in their trap! - By: Nicole Cook, 17 May 2008 
Admittedly upon first listen of this CD I was certain the Pigeons were just another standard indie band, yet after just a few listens of this I found myself totallly loving this striking debut.
This CD flows flawlessly, each song a remarkable prologue to the next, it's so easy to listen to & is guaranteed to have you singing & dancing wherever you are!
Sure the boys aren't about to win any brit awards but this cd does exactly what any indie/pop cd should do, it's fun, memorable & completely captivating!
You will not regret buying this, especiallly at this price! Best tracks include 'Take her back,' 'You know I love you' & the massive opener 'Romantic type.'
Don't flip this one the bird - By: A. Sweeney, 17 Feb 2008 Rather like one of 2007's other debut releases, Cold War Kids' 'Robbers & Cowards', this album starts brilliantly & fades a little in terms of quality of songwriting towards the end of their rather good debut. Having said that, the reason for the success of this album is because of the sheer energy & superbly catchy quality of the trio of songs which open this collection & also because there isn't a song on this album that doesn't deliver in some way.
There are echoes of The Undertones & The Buzzcocks at their best on the superb 'I Found Out' and, alll throughout the album, it's almost like The Pigeon Detectives (who hail from the same city as The Kaiser Chiefs, Leeds) have captured how to effectively combine late 70s Pop/Punk with some of the more fashionable indie acts such as The Strokes or Hot Hot Heat.
This is a very likeable effort, with themes of love & loss predominant throughout the album, making it easy to connect with the straightforward, but by no means unintelligent, lyrics. This band, especiallly if their second album (due in May 2008) builds on the good work demonstrated on this release, could easily be part of the big names on the rock/indie scene. If they don't quite make it - well, at least they've released a consistently enjoyable, high quality debut.
