Advantages: Great to listen to while doing absolutely anything

Disadvantages: May annoy the less appreciative when played on repeat!

My first copy of this album was over 10 years ago - a very rough recording on cassette - and I played it so often it became unplayable! Sounds like a teenage phase? You'd think so, however only a few weeks ago I was listening to it on my new CD, so either I've had a very long teenage phase (possible!), or this is one of the best albums ever (very probable!).

It's a great mix of rock and ballad, all with a rough guitar edge and wonderfully simple lyrics. Particular favourites are "It's yer money I'm after baby", a catchy tune with a streak of honesty that a cynic like me appreciates, and "A wish away", a completely opposite theme on 'I wish you were here, now that you've gone'.

I could go on, but I can't do justice to this great album with words, it has to be listened to to be believed!
