The Bigger the God flirt casually with Vaudeville, Burlesque and plain old camp drama to weave mini-operas peopled by sleazoids and weirdo's. If you can get over the intial shock of the concept, you may find there's some decadent fun to be had with David Cowles-Hamar's swooping theatrical voice."
Martin O'Gorman, '...And the Ugly' album review, Record Collector, March 2000. "'...And the Ugly' is a little beauty."
Andy Basire, '...And the Ugly' album review, Making Music, January/February 2000. "I could go on. I will go on. Variety is a breathtaking liberty-taking dash through 20 years of pop music. There's five singles on it already, and eight more waiting. it's not a Variety pack, it's a greatest hits-to-be. It's all Coco Pops and no Bran. It's a hit!"
Mark Luffman, Variety album review, Melody Maker, 9th November 1996. "The Goddies are an endearingly off-kilter offshoot of the British ill-fitting scene, where charity shop chic collides with healthy cynicism."
Simon Williams, On Piece, NME, 16th October 1996. "Exhaustingly good. A tune that would make the dead jig."
Jennifer Nine, 'Mum Steals Boyfriend' single review, Melody Maker, 8th June 1996. "The Bigger the God bloom as surprisingly beautiful as a lily from an apple pip."
Mark Luffman, live review, Melody Maker 6th January 1996. "Marvelously affected vocals and a witty, painful, familiar lyric."
Lee Fisher, 'Miss Pritchard' single review, Music Week 2nd December 1995.

Great song. Just look at the history on the bedroom wall. Variety was a good album but the band never got the accolades they deserved arriving on the scene just at the collapse of britpop and madchester overkill. Where are they now I wonder?
