Double take...

Review of Bell X1's album Flock - Q Magazine April 2006 - pg. 112:-

"Sometimes experimentation blows up in your face. But that wisdom has often fallen on deaf ears in the world of indie rock where craziness is seen as a badge of authenticity. Bell X1 clearly believe in the "edgier is better" mantra, with their spiky Fall-tinged rhythms, Jack White guitar and atonal Echo & The Bunnymen vocals, but this third album is a mish-mash of styles where the good lyrical ideas are buried under layers of art-rock cleverness. A classic case of innovation at the expense of tunes."

Ad for Bell X1's album Flock - Q Magazine April 2006 - pg. 117:-

"...a gorgeous album...majestic and elegant, from four men at the top of their game..." - Q Magazine

Now what we have here is a failure to communicate, don't you think...?:-)
