After buying this album and their new one, Falcon, and then seeing them live, I was thoroughly thanking the person who introduced me to The Courteeners.
All I can say is... Amazing!

This is an incredible album, up with the best. It lives up to the hype with absolute ease - every track adds value to a record that is, quite simply... BRILLIANT.

Some say we don't need another Manchester band with a Liam in it, I say grow up- buy it, listen to it and ideally get out and see 'em live because these lads can certainly do the do on stage. Sing along, dance around and enjoy!

This is an excellent debut album. From start to finish, finely crafted songs, superb musicianship it's no wonder the album has been nominated for the Guardian's Best First British Album award.

I first heard of The Courteeners at this year's "V" Festeval; I hadn't heard of them and wasn't going to bother - until I heard them. They were brilliant!!! I bought the album, St Jude, as soon as I could afterwards. There is a definite "Libertine" style to their music, but I have got to disagree with any similarity to The Smiths or Morrissey. No, lyrically, I would say there is a suggestion of The Wedding Present, but the most important thing is that The Courteeners have a very unique sound - they are not a product of other styles nor are they Top Ten Pop Fodder; they are a band that should be watched for the future. The bonus disc gives an even better insight into the band's abilities, with acustic versions of album tracks and additional tracks to delight, amaze and leave you wanting more. A truly brilliant album and, even if you have to sell an elderly relative to do so, I recomend you see The Courteeners live.
