"Less feedback and perfectly suited to that late 80's sound of Stone Roses and the like, than Pyschocandy. Still got that edgy sound, especially the last 4 tracks (I have the 10 track vinyl version). First six songs are crackers with Blues From A Gun my favourite track of theirs." Reply

"Another Mixed Bag Elvis Costello who, besides his unique songwriting skills, is known for his musical versatility and his desire to expand borders.

"My introduction to the retro sounds of The Hoodoo Gurus - and I will forever feel blessed.

"Sum 41's debut and best album. A pop-punk classic and essential for any fan of the genre. Sum 41 have fun on this album. "Fat Lip" is a classic." Reply
