Advantages: Raw talent, great guitar riffs!, Fresh and exciting, Will be hard to shift from your CD player

Disadvantages: A bit too much 'influence' from The Stranglers et al, The long wait until the follow-up

This album from this band caused a lot of excitement on the indie scene when it appeared in 1995. It was a crossover success too spawning three Top Twenty UK hit singles with, "Line Up", "Connection", and, "Waking Up". Elastica were different in that they were mainly a girl group. Many better-known indie groups at the time were mostly male affairs. Anyway, this album is great for its rawness and its great guitar riffs. Justine Frischmann and Donna Matthews have the greatest talent together. The guitar work really MAKES the album something GREAT! Tracks like the opener, "Line Up", and, "Connection" are absolute guitar classics from start to end! This album is so good for the car, for Friday nights after the club, for parties or when you need a boost on a bad day. I didn't like it much at the time it was out but in the end the greatness of this album is something that was underrated. I guess they didn't have much success outside Britain - maybe they made it to the USA. Americans would really love this kind of music. Hey, you all would! Get it NOW!
