Like You Do: The Best Of The Lightning Seeds - Lightning Seeds Reviews

The Lightning Seeds is not really a group, it is essentially the work of one man, Ian Broudie. Broudie writes, produces and performs the tracks.

'Like You Do' was the reward for almost a decade in the life of music maestro Ian Broudie (as well as a variety of companions), and serves as a pocket-sized reminder of the great music that the 'group' produced between 1989 and 1997. It is interesting to note that another studio album, 'Tilt', was also released ...  Read the complete review

As I’ve discovered from a series of televised interviews, Ian Broudie is a very confused man. He constantly contradicts himself, but despite this and a few other notable faults, he can produce very radio friendly tunes with his light pop style of music. They have lots of songs you’ll recognize and like, but in general ...  Read the complete review

This is the lightning seeds at their peak, a medley of three minute wonders from a great little band. Each song on this album is irresistibly catchy (proven by my girlfriend who hates them yet sings along all the time) Ian Broudie has written some absolutely great songs, and for this best of CD they have simply taken the best of these, I ...  Read the complete review

The Lightning Seeds did the inevitable in 1997 by releasing a 'Best of' album. Curiously, this was a few months after their England football anthem "Three Lions" topped the charts, opening them up to a whole new audience. More money grabbing pop stars? Maybe, but they sure are clever money grabbing pop stars... For ...  Read the complete review

This has to be about the best pop collection of all time; all of the songs are instantly recognisable and there is not a single weak track here. The mood is very cheerful and I think the sound is more or less universaly appealling - few people I know dislike the Lightning Seeds. It is definately a summer album as it is very uplifting, and is ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of my favourite albums. It includes the cream of the first four albums including classics such as 'Pure', 'Waiting for today to happen' and the grand finale of '3 Lions' (Euro96 version - the best version). It also includes 2 brand new songs, 'What you say' and 'Brain Drain'. These are ...  Read the complete review
