It has some beautiful songs (Who's Joe, WFTSC, Krafty, ITYS, Turn) but, as an album, it's all over the place and doesn't flow: ending with Working Overtime instead of Turn is a travesty.

On top of that, there was a general perception in the indie press that they were past their best and had been superseded by the likes of The Killers and Bloc Party.

It's all in the context. Bernard probably had Mill Street in Macclesfield in mind when he wrote it (not the pedestrian bit, further down) Nod

That reminds me of Bob Monkhouse: 'TV is the opposite of sex. Even when it's good, it's bad,' Did you know I have the same surname?
No one gives a fuck what other people think, let alone want it to influence them. Anyway as I said before, GR is worthwhile in my opinion. There's a duip in the second side but there usually is... Crystal is butt-kicking and Hooky-filled after the mid90s wank, Primitive Notion would be up there with 24 Hours and Sunrise if the words were tougher, and Vicious Streak and Turn are perfect melancholia. 60 m/h is crap though.
WFTSC starts off well but then fizzles out apart from Turn. Ana Matronic is sexy though, but maybe that's cos I saw her next to Stephen.
