Album information

The songs "The Coast Is Always Changing", "Apply Some Pressure", "Graffiti", "Going Missing" and "I Want You to Stay" were released as singles.

"Apply Some Pressure" were featured on the soundtracks of the video games "Burnout Revenge" and "SSX on Tour".

The title for the album comes from the song "Once, a Glimpse".

The song "Going Missing" was used during the end credits of the movie "Stranger than Fiction".

The album has received Platinum status in the UK. When the album was originally released, a limited edition version was available with a bonus CD containing a live performance in Japan.

A Certain Trigger shifted over 500,000 copies worldwide.

Reception

"Professional reviews":
*"Uncut" (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 - " [T] here's a romantic soul at play. Frontman Paul Smith loves the dejections of the north as much as role model Jarvis Cocker."

*"CMJ" (No. 914, p.4) - "These five lads resurrect the trembling, trebly power chords and literate sensibilities of bands like Wire and the Fall...Maximo Park's brand of guitar pop is distinctly British and pogo-ready."

*"Mojo" (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 - " [T] he Geordie five-piece's inspired and eccentric debut deserves to catapult them well ahead of their Scottish peers."
