Review

Spin (1/03, p.73) - Ranked #39 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year"
Spin (4/02, p.125) - 9 out of 10 - "...An ornate ecology concept album...They're hi-tech futurists who pay tribute to obscure '60s and '70s vinyl....It's arty, smart, 'fun' rock...And they sure know how to super-size..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/29/02, pp.71-72) - "...Recalls a lost Brian Wilson-style psychedelic marvel, complete with blankets of harmony, multilaytered orchestration, and labyrinthine structures....a thrilling exploration..." - Rating: A-
Uncut (8/01, p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Their fifth and best album....Accessible and adventurous, RINGS...ponders concepts of connection and hybidisation while musically exploiting them....RINGS AROUND THE WORLD expands the reach, but keeps the spirit..."
Alternative Press (5/02, p.98) - 7 out of 10 - "...There's no doubt their musical literacy is impressive....Rhys' death-metal growl on the climax of 'Receptacle For The Respectable' is simply rad..."
CMJ (3/18/02, p.4) - "...Another instant classic, an album that sounds more polished than previous efforts but is no less brilliant for it..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.61) - Ranked #44 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "[A] cohesive conceptual pop masterpiece: a start of the millennium cry for help."
NME (Magazine) (7/21/01, p.32) - 6 out of 10 - "...There are some great songs here..."

Title Note

Super Furry Animals' fifth album, and their first since the implosion of former label Creation Records, 2002's RINGS AROUND THE WORLD is as just as sprawling as their earlier records. But where albums like FUZZY LOGIC and RADIATOR sometimes sounded unfocused in the way they leapt from sunshiny psych-pop songs to electronic dance music flirtations, RINGS AROUND THE WORLD solidifies all of the group's various influences into a more easily digestible sound that plays to the group's melodic strengths. For example, the dreamy "Juxtaposed With U" blends '70s-style Philly soul strings with a loopy guitar-and-beatbox verse, and the title track mixes Stereolab's driving rhythm and vintage electronics with the album's most immediately catchy chorus. Wildly varied without being as muddled as some of their earlier releases, RINGS AROUND THE WORLD is one of Super Furry Animals' best efforts.
