Advantages: Great songwriting

Disadvantages: Songs about being the 'Last Bandit' sound funny in the (Wild) West Midlands

Sleazy glammed up rawk n roll.
This is a great 'best of' album and I highly recommend it.

The Dogs sound is full of rock n roll swagger like the Stones or Hanoi Rocks on a good day. Occasionally Tyla's lyrics get a bit too pretentious even for me! And he's not shy of throwing in a cliche or ten. But mostly I like the lyrics and he has got a pretty kick ass voice. Especially when he croons :-)

The guitars sound like Ronnie Wood's playing them. Gorgeous twanging like the Faces or more recently the Quireboys. Tyla obviously loves his Americana even though the Dogs are English, carping on about 'railroads' and stuff is his thang I'm afraid.

Stand out tracks for me are the excellent Heroin, I Don't Want You To Go and Billy Two Rivers. But the whole cd is top notch. Go buy it.
