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

Very nice May 14, 2008
Lets Dance To The Joy Division is a very catchy song and the rest of the album doesn't disappoint, a must buy for indie lovers and fans of The Hoosiers and Scouting For Girls.
 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.
Not bad really... April 20, 2008
Probably won't go down as a classic, but catchy, witty and melodious. If you don't expect anything revolutionary, you'll get plenty out of this...
Best album in the world April 8, 2008
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!
