ASH
Free All Angels
"A fistful of good reasons to hand over the unconditional love." - ROLLING STONE
Cosmic Debris
"Hooks big enough to land Jaws and his dad lurk in every melody, while the band sound as urgent, relevant and goddam vital as ever. It's without doubt the finest 42 minutes of unapologetic pop released so far this year. Fall under its spell or forever be branded a miserable twat." - ROLLING STONE
1977
"1977 is an album that defined a summer. Everybody in their 20's remembers that Ash summer when Oh Yeah was the soundtrack of first-time sex, Goldfinger was the soundtrack of getting pissed, Innocent Smile was the requiem for Kurt Cobain, Kung Fu was the stupid moshing one and Lose Control was about getting wasted. Ash were hot, young, and just like the kids who bought the record. The hidden track was them puking in the studio and it defines the album; irresponsible, messy, fast and fucked-up goodness. I salute them." - MTV.com
Intergalactic Sonic 7's
"Don't take them for granted, they're not going to be around forever, and even if they are, they'll look pretty shit past 40, and surely, this gold seam of songwriting magnificence can't keep going for another 19 singles?" - DROWNED IN SOUND
Nu-Clear Sounds
"This is an album that will blow your socks off one minute and tenderly ease them back on the next, an album that is as diverse as it is rewarding. Ash may have grown older and wiser, but the twinkle in their eyes is omnipresent." - BBC
Meltdown
"...these Irish punks lit a fire under Brit critics that is still smoldering." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
