5 out of 5 stars "i've seen the picture for myself".......2004-06-15

Length of Play - 45:38
"Vehicles and Animals" is worth buying for the marvelous "El Salvador" alone, but there is PLENTY of great stuff here. From the swinging "Westside" to the wistful closer, "Le Casio", there is no filler at all and always a stunning hook waiting just around the corner to knock you off your feet. Tracks like "One Million", "New Project" and "You Know" are just overflowing with pensive, melodic, enrapturing music, and the anthemic numbers "Vehicles & Animals", "You Got The Style" and "Dungeness" are absolutely blissful as well. A sticker on the cover of this album with a quote from Q Magazine calls "Vehicles and Animals", and I quote, "life-affirming...pick any of the 12 songs and there is something to love." That's about as good and succint a description I can come up with. Definitely check this one out, I highly recommend it to all.

5 out of 5 stars Britpop at its best.......2004-05-24

This is one of the best debut albums I've heard in a long while. Athlete compares favorably with Travis in my opinion, when Travis is more upbeat on songs like Why Does It Always Rain On Me and Sing. El Salvador, Westside, You've Got The Style and the title track Vehicles & Animals are all first class alternative rock songs and deserve to be on the charts here in the U.S. I saw Athlete at the Glastonbury Festival last summer, having never heard of them before, and definitely wish I'd had a chance to hear this cd first to really appreciate their performance.

5 out of 5 stars THIS IS A GREAT CD YOU GOT TO GET IT....NOW!!!.......2004-05-12

5 out of 5 stars essential album of 2003.......2004-01-29

Borrowing and improving on the Beta Band's idea of blending folk-rock and sing-a-long choruses with subtle, whirring electronics, this four-piece band from South London have put together an astonishing debut. It sounds fresh, and it's fun to listen to. STandout tracks: "You Got The Style", "Westside", "One Million", "Shake Those Windows".
