Oh dear, where should we begin?
Back in '95, Menswear had it all. They played the right style of music (Britpop), they were from the right part of town (Camden) and were front-page news before they even released a record. So why the low score?
In a nutshell, this album isn't very good.
125 West Third Street is OK, Daydreamer got into the top ten but isn't really anything special and Being Brave is quite a good track. Ultimately though, the album could not live up to the hype.
If you want great songwriting, buy an Oasis album - What's The Story (Morning Glory) would be the best one.
If you're looking for the sound of Britpop in the mid nineties, go for Blur's Parklife.
If you're looking for a band with the style to go with the songs, you should get Different Class by Pulp.
Menswear, I'm afraid, were very much style over substance.
