Advantages: aged well, good mixture of songs for different moods

Disadvantages: none

I don't think I really appreciated this album fully when I first bought it- I could probably have only told you the names of the singles and was of the opinion that the rest of the songs just padded the album out- however I listened to it again after I've not heard it for years and found that I knew all the words to all the songs and they are all brillilant. The album mixes rock, grunge and indie throughout its upbeat and fun tracks for dancing around the living room (Kung-Fu, Girl form Mars), its harder 'eyes-closed-slow-head banging' type songs (Goldfinger, Lose control) and the odd ballad (Oh Yeah, Lost in You) that makes me fondly remember my 1990s youth. It has aged well and since I have rediscovered it the tracks regularly feature in my mix tapes- even the songs which I considered to be unmemorable in my ill-informed youth! I don't own any other Ash albums . . .yet.

Summary: Oh why didn't I appreciate your talents earlier!?
