Best British Band
by "revie4ever" York, England
Reviewed on June 25th, 2003
A Toned down Monkey Kong but still with the edge and the prowess of a great A album. Every song could've been a single that would power into the top 75 like 6 previously did off the two previous studio albums. But lets talk about this touch of class, a masterpiece, would sit on your finest shelf of 16th antiques if the cover had taken more than 5 minutes to draw. the first track, which was ultimately the straw that broke the camels back, is stark contrast to the rest of the album, is hard hitting with a catchy first riff. There on there is some quality toned down A like you have never heard them before. Going Down is arguably the best track despite its less than happy lyrics. Something's going on is an instantly catchy song aswell as the amazing W.D.Y.C.A.I. But lets not forget the song of the summer in my eyes. Starbucks took A out of the 1 hit wonder category and into the main stream. They were now to be taken as an A list British rock band. They appear everywhere, even on Coronation Street. Better still moving through the album is Took it away, the techno feel is instantly cancelled out by Jason Perry's unique sound and Mark Chapmans roaring guitar. All in all best album so far, even better than Showbiz by Muse and that is saying something!!
