How do you like the drummer?

@Jethro: He's pretty good. Obviously he's not on the same level as Barriemore Barlow (very few drummers are) but he's
definitely solid imo.

I could do without ''Working John, Working Joe'', but song would have been better instrumental. I don't dig its vocal lines. I love the energy of this album, and the good humour it has.

''Batteries Not Included'' has great arrangements but yeah, the vocals are so so. I love the violin and the dark atmosphere of ''Uniform''. ''4.W.D.'' starts with promise, the rest is a matter of taste.

I'm surprised with all these 2.5's. Either you're a bit harsh or I'm a bit generous ;)

I might be being a tad harsh on Batteries and 4.W.D but the lyrics are pretty poor for Anderson's standards and drag those two down a bit for me. Working John, Working Joe is the only song I really dislike.

Not a bad album as some say, it has its moments.

Fylingdale Flyer is nice.
