The Others (Dukes of Windsor album)

The Others is the debut studio album by Australian music collective Dukes of Windsor, released on 2 September 2006.

Ned Raggett of AllMusic wrote that "the elements are all plenty familiar at this point, so what makes The Others work lies in the arrangements – if the songs are brisk and the synth crunches, tight-as-hell riffs, and punching drums are just so, things are still not quite normal throughout", concluding that "they work right in their own time, and that really is all that matters".^[2] Dan Raper of PopMatters found that the "best thing about them is their youth, and from it comes their energy", also remarking that "most of the time these songs ride a catchy line between sleazy synths and pop-punk. The songwriting's pretty similar throughout – stomping uptempo rock, with simple 4/4 drums and snippets of radio-catchy chorus that slide off into edgy synth vamps".^[1]
