I have to say that i was a bit dissapointed by 'The Bluetones' fairly uninspirational releases in the way of 'keep the home fires burning' and 'autophilia'. However, i decided to go out and buy this on the basis on their two albums which came beforehand. I must say that i was a little disappointed by the bands attempt to appeal to a more pop based audience, which i think ultimately results in the bands downfall to produce as good an album as before. This, however, is my own personal opinion, and i think those who liked their singles will enjoy this album greater than i did.
For those who share my feelings regarding the singles will be pleased to find that a few songs are in there whih seem to hint at the greatness which came before. 'Mudslide' and 'The Basement Song' are my favourites here, and there are also a few others which are a good listen. The all instrumental 'Blood Bubble' also shows how the band are still willing to do some things a little different.
Overall, i was disappointed that the bluetones didn't seem to go in the right direction with this album. However, there are still a few good songs which show how good they have been
