I just listened to it and I can't remember any of it. I think I liked the first two songs, but then the next twelve all bled into one another. If you liked marchin' already and whatever the name of the album that has 'profit in peace' on it was, you'll probably find something to dig. But, like I said yesterday....it's 2013. Why does this exist?
They've been shit for years but I do think they are unfairly ridiculed at times when there are literally 1000's of worse bands out there.
I still listen to Moseley Shoals & Marchin' Already + the B-sides from that era every once in a while & still for the most part enjoy them. Some of my favourite early gigs I saw were OCS.
It is just kind of sad that in 2013 if you speak to somebody who still likes OCS to find that they haven't moved on at all & the only new artist they like is Jake Bugg.
I remember loving 'July', probably because it was the theme tune to the C4 spin-off series of Lock Stock. Then I listened to it recently and suddenly realised it was shit.
Listened to a bit of 'marchin' already' to remind myself why I used to like them...what a great little album that was. And oddly, I've had "traveller's tune" stuck in my head all morning.
Don't have their best-of on my ipod though, so I can't listen to anything other than the first two albums. (Or the new one.) Bad job by me there.

You say it's like a bad thing.
I reckon I've seen them fewer times than Mahoney, must've been 4 or 5 tops. They were a solid enough live band, but it was always let down by the fact they did exactly the same set each tour (not that you'd want to hear any of their post-2000 put) and their fans are the worst in the world; they'd probably find Dwayne's solo record a bit too left field for their tastes. KEEP THE FAITH! WE ARE THE MODS! PROPER ROCK'N'ROLL! etc
Around ten years ago I travelled to another city with a friend to see them. Once we got there we found out they had cancelled, so we spent the whole night playing ISS PS2.
