Advantages: Every track is great

Disadvantages: none

I bet thats what people will say when you play this to them. This is quite simply a great album. The guitars range from fast and hard right down to soft and mellow(but not too much of the latter). The lyrics are nice and uncomplicated. The songs are timeless(5 years on and its still better than most of todays dull indie rock).

'Lose Control' WILL have you playing air guitar and jumping around(thats the track on the Playstation game Gran Tourismo by the way). 'Kung Fu' will have pretty much the same effect.

'Goldfinger' is moody but not depressing(hooray!) 'Girl From Mars' tricks you first time round with its acousticy intro before exploding into overdriven guitars, the same can be said of 'Angel Interceptor'. 'Oh Yeah' is the track that got me into Ash in the first place(it was on the radio all the time when I was in France in '96). I'm not too keen on some of the tracks but the ones I do like more than make up for it(hence 5 stars and not 4). Oh, if you do get this album let the last track run through as there is a bonus track called 'Sick Party'. Its funny.

If you are just getting in to Ash with Shining Light and Burn Baby Burn like my little brother is then you should go out and get this. I can guarentee (almost!!) that their new album "Free All Angels" won't be better than this.
