This album is a diverse mixture of indie/pop/rock. The lyrics of this album can be funny, romantic, thoughtful and crazy all at the same time, with a little bit of cheese on the side! The majority of the tracks on this album have repetitive verses such as, 'This is no Bridget Jones, Bridget, Bridget!' (kill the director) and 'go to santa, go, go, go' (Lost in the Post).

Overall I think this album is fantastic; with its catchy songs and positive lyrics this is a brilliant debut album.

This album can be purchased from all good record stores and online for around £7.99.

Summary: Great catchy songs, well worth a listen.
