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

 Love this! June 13, 2008
The songs on this CD are quirky energetic and upbeat. I don't know why so many people are saying they are "boybandy" or been done because I think they are very unique and the only thing I would have to say is most of the songs are singing about girls...but most songs do anyway. Overall a good CD

Many people have abusive things to say about The Wombats, but this is one of those albums which you never get bored of! It has limitless querks and great tunes. It may not have the greatest lirics in the world but they are easy to pick out and aren't really going to make you commit suicide or cry in a corner. However I do agree that the lead singer looks like he eats children!
Best Songs: Backfire at the Disco, Let's Dance to Joy Division, Moving to New York and My First Wedding.
Surely This Must Be "Album of the Year"? May 22, 2008

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!
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.
