"The Sundays' debut album builds on the layered, ringing guitar hooks and unconventional pop melodies of The Smiths, adding more ethereal vocals and a stronger backbeat. As evidenced by the lilting, melancholy single 'Here's Where the Story Ends,' it's a winning combination, making Reading, Writing and Arithmetic a thoroughly engaging debut." - Geffen
