It was released in May 2003 and quickly became the number one in the Republic of Ireland where it spent 61 weeks in the top 75,[12] and also won 'Album of the Year' at the national music awards. It was also very successful in UK, debuting at #3, remaining in the charts for 25 weeks,[13] and gave them some attention in Europe, with the single "Big Sur" reaching #17 in the UK,[13] which remains as their highest charted position in that country to date. In an interview, lead singer Conor Deasy explained the band's inspiration for the song material: {{Cquote|Those songs are our ways of picking us up because we were kind of miserable. We were dropped by our label. And the towns are put [in the songs] as a way of escapism, as opposed to documenting little tales about what happened when we went there. When we put in a title like "Santa Cruz (You're Not That Far)," it would literally pick us up a bit.[14]}} The album was nominated for the 2003 Mercury Prize but lost to Dizzee Rascal's Boy in da Corner.[15] LegacyThe album was included in the book, 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[16] Track listing
