Album information
The title for the album comes from the song "Once, a Glimpse".
The songs "The Coast Is Always Changing", "Apply Some Pressure", "Graffiti", "Going Missing" and "I Want You to Stay" were released as singles.
The censored version of "Apply Some Pressure" was used on the soundtracks of the video games FIFA 06, Burnout Revenge, and SSX on Tour. An instrumental version of "Going Missing" was used during the end credits of the movie Stranger than Fiction.
The album has received Platinum status in the UK. When it was originally released, a limited-edition version was available with a bonus CD containing a live performance in Japan. A Certain Trigger sold over 500,000 copies worldwide.
In 2007, frontman Paul Smith contributed vocals to a Pop soul remix of "Apply Some Pressure" by musician, DJ and producer Mark Ronson for his covers album Version. Smith recorded the vocals for Ronson after he invited him to perform on the instrumental he had made based on the band's original.
In 2009, the Warp20 (Recreated) compilation included a cover version of the song "Acrobat" by Seefeel.
Reception
Template:Album ratings PitchforkTemplate:'s Sam Ubl wrote that Maxïmo Park "play jaunty, precise power pop with punk's antipathies, exuding a tentative cool'.[1] CMJ wrote, "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."[2]
A Certain Trigger was nominated for the 2005 Mercury Prize.
