They've made us a hugging record. Nothing ridiculous or pretentious about hugging.

The Runners Four may not come off as innovative as Reveille (2003) and Milk Man (2004) did, but the real innovation here is in making chaos sound so serene.

Amazingly, The Runners Four leaves pretense behind, coming off sounding as fresh, active and full of sunshine as a simple pop act, despite its curious nature.
