AllMusic[2]

The band supported the album by performing one of its tracks on an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[6]

Critical reception Edit

The Guardian called the album "a delirious tour de force of quiet- loud bouncy-castle riffs, backwards tape-loops, and trippy narcissistic lyrics."[7] The Stuart News concluded that "Lotion update punk's aggression with singalong tunes and tight musicianship ... their clever lyrics, timely subjects and hipster inclinations remove them from the identikit sameness that robs most modern rock bands."[8] The Record deemed The Telephone Album "the group's most accessible release yet, mixing power pop ('I Love Me, Vol. 1') and glam ('My Name Is Prince') leanings with snippets of Queen- and ELO-inspired pop bliss."[9]

AllMusic wrote that "hook after hook and melody after melody are delivered in Tony Zajkowski's relaxed and unaffected style of singing."[2]
