Advantages: Better than could be expected Disadvantages: Sounding rather dated now
...of an updated version of an outtake from their "Emotional Rescue" LP (Lonely At The Top, co-written by a certain Mr K Richards).
Even taking into account this was the 1980's and thus hang the expense, this album has thirty six different people playing on it. Thirty six! Ranging from session players like Tony Thompson (Chic, Power Station), Lenny Pickett, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare (Sly and Robbie of many a reggae album) to soloist themselves like Nile Rogers, Herbie Hancock and Pete Townsend, needless to say this cast of thousands know their way round a recording studio blindfolded and give us a polished, professional LP but are the songs actually worth listening to? Or should CBS have said "sorry Mick we'll have to shelve it, because we got this new band called Night Ranger and they got some hot licks?"
Well for a start forget...

Advantages: Some extremely strong tracks present here, an excellent horn section. Disadvantages: Less Ska based than their older albums.
...Reel Big Fish have never been a favourite band of mine, however nonetheless I have always had an appreciation for their music and as such when this album was released back in 2002 I soon bought it and had it in my possession. The thing I have always loved about this band is that no matter what they happen to be singing about, they always sound ridiculously happy and therefore listening to their music is always greatly rewarding, particularly when you're feeling a bit down in the dumps for whatever reason and really need to 'Cheer Up'. The band are best known for their single 'Sell Out' which was featured in the great 1998 film 'BASEketball', a film which starred South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
'Cheer Up' is the bands fourth studio album and begins with 'Good Thing', a track which kicks off the proceedings in the way...

Advantages: You get 2 CD's for the price of one Disadvantages: Have Stereophonics lost the edge they once had?
...from the fans and yes the producers have let them have a chance to sing on this track. It would be a disappointment if they didn't as this song became another well loved anthem of 1998 and probably the single that actually made Stereophonics whom they are today. The acoustic live version is spoiled with unnecessary keyboard riffs. I liked this raw but the keyboard organs in the background as made it a little too commercialised for my liking.
Just Looking - The best song of P & C album by far. Well in my opinion anyway. It starts with claps and cheers from the fans. You can listen to this song over and over again and never get bored. Still got the beats, and Kelly's solo bits as it did in the original album version. A good choice to put on the live album and yes I'm pleased with this version of the song. Still added the guitar riffs...
