Man thats what Ive been on. I find that album to superb. Yes, indeed it is HIT after HIT! Their young and raw. Which is what every band should be. That when its good to be into a band. The minute the they get the cover of the wretched NME it's all over.
Even the cover of the album is great. Makes a smashing Tshirt to boot.

Puts me in mind of the nights spent listening to John Peel under the duvet (well it was a school night!!) with my fingers poised on the PLAY button and the red RECORD button hoping to produce a vaguely audiable recording without waking my parents.

Hi. You included several of my favorite albums on your "New Rock Classics" list from Feb. 19. It feels great - liberating - to hear someone say that Kraftwerk outdid Pink Floyd and that a Prince album is better than Sgt. Pepper's. I think you're right; The Smiths and Joy Division are certainly more relevant to young, modern musicians than Dylan and Zeppelin are. Of course, at 28 that makes me feel really old. I don't want The Smiths to be The Stones. The Stones are O-L-D!

I say down with the sacred cows, and I only hope my favorites aren't next in line at the slaughterhouse.
