Very retro- I like it.

A bit poppy but then that's the name of the game I guess.

This is neither Ska nor Punk.

This is Latin Pop?

I'm not saying it's bad. It's misrepresented.

I like the concept of this and the cover draws me in....... but sadly the screaming gets me every time.

Musically there's some interesting sounds here but then again Rage against the machine got there first I think.

Still, it woke me up this morning and that's a good thing.

It has a real 'amateur' feel to it- not sure why but it scores points since otherwise this sort of thing is devoid of originality and just about as generic and stereotypical as it comes.

I've always had a soft spot for Chris and 'Spaceman' but never realised it was part of a stylised act- stories in a certain Theatrical manner.

Quite engaging- not background since you're impelled to listen to the words.

Have you ever seen Will Ferrell in FireSaga - a story of Eurovision?

Well I'm pretty sure it was based on these guys......

This is 110% cheese and is brilliant. I need to hunt down the videos to this.....

I just love this album and love BoC too.

How this wasn't also included with 'Music has the Right to Children' in the original 1001 i'm not sure but they don't seem to get the recognition they deserve.

Truly innovative sounds. I never get tired of being transported by them to a different place.

Fresh, raw, retro New wave sensibility.

I like it. It's got real attitude.

Not what I was expecting- like a version of 10cc for the 90's

Certainly deserves a listen though.

Why wasn't this on the original list?!

Good pick though. Funny how so many reviewers came upon this from TV and Film samples (mine was 'Blowers Daughter' in 'Closer').

There isn't a bad song on this album- so healing and soothing and sensitive.

A thing of beauty.

It hits me that I slagged a Killswitch album off a few days ago and then liked this album.

What is it and why? Maybe I'd heard this one before or think this is more 'meaningful'. The lyrics certainly mean more.

I need to listen to the Killswitch again perhaps?

I've tried to locate this and from what I've found on Spotify and Youtube it sounds pleasant if not entirely original.

Wow! This is quite something.

So angry.

It'a good but quite anxiety inducing.

I'm a dad-rock middleaged man so it may be a suprise to you but this just makes me chuckle.

This is country-pop meant for middleaged ladies in Weddings and parties to dance to and I wish them well.

Well produced and derivative (there's even a sly intro-copy on 'You're still the one' to 'Je t'aime... moi non plus' and it has an 80s feel to it.

It's good, but not in my heart. That belongs to Ian Curtis.

Love the cover, the album and the band's name but what's the music like?

It's less 'indie' Rock and more......'Indie' Folk?

It's a nice listen.

This defines a 90's indie-rock/Pop band to me. Not unpleasant but so generic.

I've heard of her but expected this to be so much more.

It's so Middle.Of.The.Road and like one reviewer noted it's like hiring a camper and driving down route 54, switching on the radio and the announcer says "Welcome to KYRE Country Radio, here's a litle bit of Mary for you".

It's ok but could be so much more.

After reading the review from the user who chose this I feel bad to dismiss it but it really is a niche sound. I mean they switch from screamy shouting to decent singing and back again?! Was that the same singer? It's almost silly.

The band are decent and the production ok but I can't see anything here for me.

Lots of great songs- covers and live too.

It's really all about the vibe, Joe's distinctive voice and the 70s band plus the choir.

A great timepiece. Great for a nightime listen with a beer.

I really want to like this but of course it's so terribly contrived.

Quirky and fun, nonsensical and British but I'm not in the mood.

I can't bring myself to give this a bad score. It is what it is.
