"Made in UK in 1993, Serial# CDGRAM-71, Playing Time 39:49After 3 consecutive live albums, 999 released "YUI" back in 1993, their first studio since "Lust Power And Money".Frankly, you can't tell it's been that long. The band follow their recipe of 2-and-a-half-minute songs, but this time, it feels like the inspiration, at least lyrically, is gone. Simple melodies, lame lyrics, you can't help but think you've already heard all this but it used to be stronger, bolder, when attitude counted for something.You might even think this is a "cover band" of 999, but there's no mistaking the Cash/Days' sounds.Generally disappointing, there are still a few precious tracks, but not quite enough to make it a "must have"."
