This was one of the first CD albums I bought. It isn’t, as I thought at the time, Ash’s debut album, but their second after the less memorable Trailer Park. Including the hit singles ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Girl From Mars’, ‘Oh Yeah’, ‘Angel Interceptor’ and my personal favourite ‘Kung Fu’, this is an album of variety. If has some pop, some rock, some madness (attitude, not the 80s band!), and also some very dark moods. The album was named after the year of their birth, although I’m not entirely sure why.

The first track kicks the album off with a band, a largely instrumental piece with some brilliant filtered guitar and samples. I also like ‘Gone The Dream’, quite a mellow song as far as Ash go, but pleasant nonetheless. And ‘Innocent Smile’ is a whole lot darker and more interesting. Altogether, it’s a great album, especially when you need a good bit of stress release – I recommend it heartily.
