It gets off to a really great start, but it drags a lot towards the end.

From IrishMusichead 06/03/2013 11:04
I almost forgot this LP existed! While Bitter Sweet Symphony was an anthem for its time track and The Drugs Don't Work is a lovely track, it's biggest problem is that it drags on longer than intended, it's not very memorable and it's a little pretentious. That is a shame because they have the potential to be a British incarnation of R.E.M. (as in respect wise) and they could've crushed the somewhat shallow moralities of the Oasis crowd, instead it ended up as pretty Northern music that went nowhere after it's release. Seriously, what happened here?

There were some pretty good records put out in 1997. I'm not really comfortable with the idea that this was second only to OK Computer.
