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On top of that, there was a general perception in the indie press that they were past their best and had been superseded by the likes of The Killers and Bloc Party.

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. Edited by user 05 August 2016 04:15:23(UTC)
