Amazon.co.uk Review
By now you will have probably heard of The Wombats--in particular their heavily rotated singles like "Let's Dance to Joy Division" (a song title that's difficult to forget, or ignore) and ("Kill the Director"). Comprised of two Liverpudlians and a Norwegian, The Wombats--as their name and track titles suggest--indulge in a highly addictive type of `novelty-rock' that's edgy, well-produced--and more seriously infectious than that label would suggest. A Guide to Love ..., their debut album, is crammed to the rafters with fast-paced, catchy rock songs that offer wry lyrics and memorable sing-a-long choruses, and are fully intended to make you leap around the dancefloor. Think of Franz Ferdinand and the Kaiser Chiefs jamming with The Monkees and you won't be far wrong. The album is surprisingly diverse though, ranging from the barbershop jam "Tales of Girls, Boys and Marsupials" to the disco beats of "Backfire at the Disco" and the catchy hooks of "Patricia the Stripper". Where this high-octane trio will go after such a cheery, brave opening gambit is anyone's guess. Best to enjoy these jerky pop japes while they last. --Danny McKenna

 Surely This Must Be "Album of the Year"? May 22, 2008
Bob Monkhouse (London)

This is an absolutely fantastic album, very reminiscent of "I Should Coco" by Supergrass (in my opinion). Plenty of catchy tunes, lots of teenage energy and emotion, and most importantly of all: plenty of humour. The Wombats cover many topics, but their view of weddings and visiting the doctors will have you in stitches. Buy this album at any cost, and make it your album of the year!

THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!! The idiot that gave this a 1 star rating is a fool with poor music appreciation. this is a fantastic album blending sophisticated guitar with catchy indie twang. unique in their harmonies and all round catchy in every single chorus. this is the best album you will by this year. probably this decade. the wombats are the next big thing. you heard it here first... buy it!
Beautiful . Just really listen. April 28, 2008

Every song is just a ball of pure passion and flair. Turn it up to number 11 and you know they are the true band of liverpool 08.
