     Bald, stocky and moustached, he is the Lee Van Cleef of Scousepop, but a move into acting would be songwriting's loss.

     In between there's a few meandering moments, but also definite highlights with the bouncy Scousepop of 'Hemingway', aforementioned rockout update 'PKR', country-Americana stomp of 'Low Black Clouds' and 60s-by-way-of-the-90s jangle of 'Money Man'.

   • 2014 March 6, Caroline Sullivan, “Dan Croll: Sweet Disarray review – Sleek, vibrant Scousepop”, in The Guardian‎^[3]:

     Sweet Disarray conflates lilting Scousepop and electronica into a warm nether-genre (if the Zutons and Metronomy ever made a record together, it might sound like this), with added sleek choruses that sound equally right on 6Music and Radio 1.
