Full review
0898 is an album that really made the beautiful south a unique band. Just from the front cover..(which the record company where most annoyed at) it was clear to see Heaton's gang aren't in it for the money. A couple of really classic songs are featured, "Domino Man" - excellent song, with a real-upbeat feel. Heatons song writing talents go really obscure with the "36D" to the really beautiful "Rocking Chair" - a song by Briana Corrigan. A must for all who like the South since carry on up the charts. Even though it is maybe their weakest album, it still has one or two classy songs that will get you through the whole album. I still recommend it though.
