Here's a piece of a NME review from several weeks ago.
Reviewing the new Vines album "Melodia."

Let’s get this out of the way, because it’s not something we’re too fond of doing. To those of you who bought the issue of NME dated July 23, 2002, please accept our sincerest and most unreserved apologies. Some of you may remember this issue as the one where we proclaimed a mentally imbalanced Antipodean as the de facto saviour of rock’n’roll and proceeded to indulge, over the course of innumerable pages and in a near-scientific discourse (right down to a diagram detailing how his watch – his watch – bestowed messianic power upon him) on why we were right. Well, we weren’t. The fault for the lonely winding down of The Vines’ curious career doesn’t lie solely at our feet – Craig Nicholls was always too trigger-happy with the self-destruct button to ensure that – but we certainly played our part. And for that we’re sorry. But nobody deserved ‘Melodia’.
