I absolutely love this album and am fairly devastated that this is the only album that The La's ever made. I guess it's better to quit while you are ahead, but damn. 

Most people are probably familiar with "There She Goes" but honestly, there is not a bad track in this entire album. It seems clear to me that they were influenced by REM and XTC, but they have their own distinct sound that sets them apart. 

This is the first 90s album that has really blown me away. Highly recommended.

RATING: 5/5
