Now this is an underrated track, prob my fav on the album, drink it up.

I'd be hard pushed to name a favourite now.

Could dispose of a couple, but the rest are all pretty strong IMHO.  And the non-familiar (not so radio friendly perhaps) are probably stronger in that they're more complex and intricate.

Yep, it's absolutely beautiful.

This last one is beautiful. Wow

TTony

Over already?

They're all well constructed songs, it has to be said. No bad ones on it. I realise this is the first time I've listened to it in its entirety. 

TTony

That 54mins has flown by.  Must be a sign of a good album.

Fuengi

That's all folks!

Agreed. Enjoyed that. Might give it another listen in half an hour or so once I've had a brew and some Jaffa cakes.

A flawless classic... one of the best LP's of the 90's... I should listen to it more often.

Cheers all, i know this album like the back of my hand, was interesting hearing the thoughts of those less familiar with it.
