Britpoppers Doves are a bit more doom-and-gloom on this album, and while the album as a whole is great, it's the more upbeat tracks that stand out the most for me. Take, for instance, "Catch the Sun," a pretty chilled-out track with its beautifully-constructed chord progressions and warm, mellow bassline. "Catch the Sun" is essential listening for this album, as are the opener "Firesuite" and "The Cedar Room." Again, the album is a bit more drab when compared to their follow-up The Last Broadcast, but there's enough melody throughout to keep Britpop fans interested.
