Yes, I think it's a good bunch of songs delivered in a sincere, and interesting way. It's also good to hear a different interpretation, in this case, lounge lizard style (stop it Johnny), from doing a straight 'down the line' cover version.
Amusingly, a girl making a 'f*cking prat' jibe during the opening of Big Mouth Strikes again is worth lsitening out for as well. What disrespect for a live band. Never happened to me. Much! (andy who said the fairer sex can't deliver a succinct put down when required)!
I'd venture a 7/10 (so, I'd suggest that you buy it, and go on to suggest that its better than the smiths string quartet offering?)
