Admittedly it's taken a while to grow on me, and it's still got nothing on Alligator or Boxer but I'm beginning to love it. Criticisms: Terrible Love still can't decide if it's a demo or the finished thing, Bloodbuzz sounds like it was written as a single, and Matt's lyrics aren't as good as the first 4 albums. Still, England must be one of the greatest things they've ever done. Back to Top   Belligerent Hype Man God DRINK LUCOZADE!!!

Its a great record. My contact high with it wore off a bit ago and Ive seen them 3 times this year, but its a wonderful record, easily a top 5 of the year pick. I agree that the prior two albums are better. Back to Top   Reply Share Thread Facebook Twitter Tumblr LinkedIn MySpace Email Go to Previous Thread Next Thread Please make a selection first
