From the word go this album is the business. It starts off loud and catchy and never lets up. The sound itself is very original but clearly takes its roots in nineties Manchester and anyone partial to the Stone Roses or the Charlatans will find themselves engrossed in the sounds. There are obvious stand out tracks in the head-pounding melodies of club foot and cutt-off but the slightly mellower (if no less enticing) beats of KSF are a joy to listenb to. The album moves towards its conclusion with, in my opinion, its best track, the haunting (and politically angled) ovary stripe which grips the listener and makes you want to press play again straight away. For me this is the best debut album since definately maybe and a CD collection is nothing without it.
