"a seeping font of song ideas fleshed out by creative musicians" High Voltage
"The Disturbance is a great name for an album, particularly one that full of dark tales and that philosophy of 'play hard, live fast, die you, leave a beautiful corpse. Glyn Bailey & The Many Spendid Things have delivered an album of pomp rock perfection." FATEA
"Bailey and his Things tread a tricky line with aplomb – material that could otherwise be viewed as being undermined by either whimsical novelty, or self-regarding cleverness, is delivered with verve and élan, the band’s sure-footed musicality and sharply observed lyrics enabling an amusing bar room pastiche such as ‘God For The Day’ to transcend any hint of becoming the Eric Idle-meets-Lieutenant Pigeon mash up it may have become in less skilled hands. Similarly, the elegiac ‘The Bolan Tree’ is wistful and evocative where it could so easily have become lachrymose and saccharine." Mudkiss Zine
"Fantastic from start to finish. Like Nick Cave sings children's stories." TunaTheDay
"This album proves he’s a thinker, who along with his band, can summon up some highly original and entertaining material – unique and the city would be a poorer place without talented exponents such as this." Manchester Music
