Album Description

Their debut from 1990, a roughly recorded album for sure, the overall effect is Revolver played with the speakers buggered, at very high volume, but tunes like 'Everyyhing Flows', which does with a joyful surge and 'Eternal Light' remain amongst their best. 2002 reissue in a slipcase.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A Very Good Album.......2006-10-13

I really like this album. But then again I really like the band. I think this was the second album I bought of theirs after Bandwagonesque and I was not disappointed. Therefore I agree with M. Haverstock's observation that since this album depicts the band as a "work in progress" it's not representative of their more recent stuff. However, this album is as good as it is unique.

It will take you awhile to get to know this album, but aren't all good records like that? These songs are not pop songs like their later stuff. These songs have a kind of dark, droning, layered feel to them laid-down by great strumming dirty guitars. The songs also tend to be long and almost impressionistic (but not lacking in structure). They also have the Fanclub's trademark good melodies.

The songs are minimally produced which really lets the feel come through. Whenever I put this album on it's not to hear one track but to let the whole thing run through, sometime twice. This album is probably not for everyone, but it's definately worth a try for Fanclub fans.
