Reviews"...We've suffered a lot of New Smiths in the last few years, but Gene are the first to actually acknowledge the debt, take it to the limit, and then make it their own...", Ranked #23 on Melody Maker's list of 1995's `Albums Of The Year' - "...a rich and rocking debut stuffed with sweet soul guitars and gorgeous songs of lust and loss...", 6 - Reasonably Good - "...Gene is better at being a surrogate Smiths than Morrissey is at being the icon of the alienated...", 3 Stars - Good - "...Though Gene come off like Badfinger to the Smiths' Beatles at this point, OLYMPIAN has plenty to offer of its own--including the potential for uniqueness further down the line."
