| Honestly, I do not own this album as I am just making the purchase as we speak online. But I do qualify as a reviewer because I saw these wonderful Boys last night in Seattle (opened for the fabulous James Blunt) and they played these songs for us. Never having heard of them before, I feel that the concert, THEIR concert, was one of those bonus times you rarely get in life. Every single song is GRRRRRRReat (as Tony the Tiger would say) and these boys know their Tigers, too! Love them! Listen and laugh. This album should be everyones spring treat to themselves and their friends. Buy this album and go see them. Fun Fun Fun | |

| The whole album is charming the first time through, but I've been enjoying it less and less after each listen. Some of the tracks are fun and catchy on their own ("Be Gentle With Me", "Paper Cuts", and "I'm Glad I Hitched..."), but the album is too long to want to listen to all the way through more than a couple times at most. I think it's likely to be an album that people listen to a lot for a day or two, and then loose in their collection and never listen to again. | |

| I bought this album because of all the Insound hype. I like it. It's very happy. Kind of Of Montreal-ish, but less kArAZee! Super cute. | |

| No one else sounds like Boy Least Likely To. If you didn't listen to the words, it might sound like a children's album, full of funky instruments and what can only be described as jaunty tunes. And though many of the songs are indeed light-hearted, some are...not so much. ''I see spiders when I close my eyes'' is undoubtedly the most delightful song about acute paranoia EVER. But be forewarned, you may never get ''I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon To Your Star'' out of your head. It's quirky, but cool. | |

| A beautifully crafted album. One of those albums that you can listen to all the way through but still enjoy each of the songs for their individuality. | |
