Definitely not as good as some of the Beatles albums, but certainly pretty good.

A fantastic album, that pointed the way for many musical possibilities, but sadly overshadowed by the BritPop explosion. Stand-out tracks are too numerous to mention. A seamless collection of pop and rock experimentation, and one of a handful of British albums of the early 1990s that stands the test of time. Wonderful.

An okay album that doesnt try hard enough for how long it is. The bulk of the songs feel like slightly tired, underbaked alt rock/brit pop/whatever with vocals that are too lazy to work without heavy fx that they dont get. That being said the band does have spurts of goodness. 1 with its tapey audio processing stuff opens the album quite well as it unfolds weirdly into a cool riff. 2 already feels a bit patchworky between the gritty guitars and the random vox, but does feature some nice round bass and some surprise ?cello near the end. 3 starts off nice and surf rocky, but without fx the dreamy vox just dont work. 4 is again lackluster on the prod, though the tone in the softer sections reminds me of PF's Echoes. The bass is nicely audible and the riffs riff enough. 5 does not work for me at first, but gets really faken cool with its bass and brass - one of the highlights here. 6 also features super cool rhythmics and accompanying riff, and its outro reminds nicely of the album intro. Might have wanted to finish the album there honestly. 7 is a niec enough interlude, but 8 feels quite zzz despite the guitars in the back and the flutes also. 9 is outright annoying, and most songs blend into an okayness I could enjoy in a vacuum but not 45min into the album you know. 11 is a typical example. 13 does wake us up a bit with the brass, 14 is a cute interlude, 15 is quite loud and chaotic but then the vox are annoying, and by 17 I really needed the album to stop despite its best efforts. Yea not a fan of this. 3.3

Better than any of the Beatles albums. The White Album of the 90s.
