I can honestly say that there isn't one song that i didn't enjoy- I still can't take it out of the car!!

This is a fairly good album, its on of those albums which are nice, light hearted, and easy to listen to. We all have these types of albums in our collections so dont judge it too harshly. Yes, it isn't a master piece, this isn't the new dark side of the moon, but if you want somthing to listen to and not that fussed then this album is great for it. All songs are very easy to go back to again and again, it is a bit like britpop but slightly modernised, although not in the ranks of the great blur or pulp. So give it a try, its not everyone's cuppa tea but arwell a fairly decent attempt

i do like athelete but i cant help thinking im liying to myself wen i fink this album is great! its like wen u hear snippets of the chorus the music sounds catchy and bright but its not like that all the way through and i found it a bit bland. sort of like keane but with guitars.if ure given it by all means take it but i wudnt go out and buy it if ure into indie/rock ull find this far too much like "pop" by no means a masterpeice.

Are you one of the people who have just recently followed Athlete and looking at V&A and deciding whether or not to buy it. If You Are, BUY IT!!!!!This album in my opinion is slightly better than Tourist and is a totally different album. This is catchy Quirky Pop at its greatest . You will be singing ths ongs for ages.Every song at first sounds familiar but when you listen properly you can hear the great talent these guys have!!!

I bought this after I bought Tourist and am now contradicting myself by saying this one is so much better. It's not trying to be something else like Tourist is, and whereas Tourist is a good album, Vehicles and Animals is one you will not want to stop listening to. Anyone who likes good music will love this album, and if you like Athlete's latest offerings but thought they were all a bit samey after a while then try this and it will be a breath of fresh air. I hope on Athlete's 3rd album they return to this formula which is so uplifting and a million times better than their just-a-tiny-bit-dreary-and-boring new style. Every track is good, but stand-outs for me are:The catchy, feel-good El SalvadorBeautiful - slow, anthemic, "beautiful"You Got the Style - impossibly catchy New Project - a lovely melody and every time you hear the opening line you will have to sing alongVehicles and Animals - The Title track of the album has a beautiful message, fantastic lyrics and a sing along gorgeous chorus.Out of Nowhere - quite upbeat but very different to the rest of the albumDungeness - Great chorusLe Casio - the perfect ending to the album.without realising I have listed almost the entire album so there you are, buy it! Even if you haven't liked songs like "Wires" although at times you can hear the resemblance in this album, you should still try it because it's completely different.
