No.17 in the Best Of 2004 Top 20
 
Early last year three brothers from Wakefield released a debut album that was much more fun than anything else in its genre. And not a damned person seemed to notice. Previous single “Another Number” has to be one of the most simplistic yet relentlessly addictive songs of the last few years, but again not many would have heard it. Still confined to supporting bands up and down the country that have only released one single, The Cribs are spreading their message very slowly. In fact, there probably is no ‘message’ to spread. An album consisting solely of dangerously infectious, unintelligent, guitar pop songs with simple lyrics. Absolutely fantastic.
