Scottish alt rock band....
this compilation was released between their fourth and fifth album...
released their last album this year but I never heard it...
own three of their studio albums, all early ones that this one covers...
problem I have with this one is that the tracks are not in chronological order
which is the way I like my compilations to be, if only to hear how an artist progresses
through the years, yes I know I could pre programme the tracks to play in that order,
but im too lazy to spend five minutes doing that...
anyway,on with the music...
they call them alt rock, theyre not rock by any means, theyre light and melodic...
their music often has what I call a 'jingle-jangle' sound, sort of like The Byrds in places
with the lovely harmonies also...
their biggest and best known hit "why does it always rain on me?" is still a superb track IMO
but its another from the same studio album that is my all time fave of theirs in "writing to reach you"

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: re-offender
best track: writing to reach you
