I didn't expect to enjoy this album, and in a different mood I might not have liked it. But by the sixth track I was really into this, which doesn't always happen with me and britpop.
I suppose it wasn't the most original album on the List. But that's a common problem with britpop as a genre, I suppose. There aren't a lot of innovative artists exploring this style of music. But it was still enjoyable, and not every album needs to reinvent the wheel.
The lyrics were smart and sexy, which is always a winning combination. Worth listening to but perhaps not essential.
RATING: 4/5
