Advantages: Actually has quite a lot of good songs, with more of a mix of styles Disadvantages: Poorly received, a few bad songs, not their best, being dropped by EMI
Terrorvision's fourth album Shaving Peaches was something of an odd album. It didn't go down well with long term fans and critics, but saw them score their highest chart single ('Tequila', no. 2) and then get dropped by label EMI!
What a lot of people felt is that this album lacks the infectiously fun good-time rock of other Terrorvision albums. Personally, I think this is a rather harsh judgement; in my opinion How To Make Friends And Influence ... ...were a little harsh on Shaving Peaches.

Terrorvision were the atypical UK rock/pop band, and benefited from a large student following, ... ...a sing-a-long chrous and bouncability. Shaving Peaches though fails to bring together the key ingredients and of the 15 tracks only "III Wishes" can be said to be Terrorvision type song.
To be fair the Album starts off quite well with "III Wishes" and "Josephine", which both are good enough to make it on to the greatest hits album. The overall feel for the album though as depressing and is as far removed from the fun up beat lyrics that I have always ...
