"Listened to this again after about 10 years and found out AGAIN how much this is a classic. Every song is great and interesting in its own way. Can't believe more people aren't exploring things like this instead of the spoonfed crap out there now. Guess you had to be there and experience the time. This is a great album that does not come by that often. Please respect it!"
They Don't Make Music Like This Anymore[.]

"Song for song one of the Greatest Cds/albums ever made. Every song is great... I saw these guys several times in the late 80s and early 90s. It's a shame that they never hit it big here. Maybe that's a good thing. I listen to this cd and wonder why the radio [is] so badly these days. Maybe someday, one these ...bands that we hear so much on the radio will go back and listen to this album realize this is how you write pop music. Buy this Cd!! keep the legacy alive!! Long Live Miles Hunt!..."

"This comes from the time where they used to make albums with only singles-quality songs. By far the best work from the Wonderstuff, although the first!You'll think of the beatles with a new youth, more energy but those songs that stick in your head for a while. I never ubderstood why the wonderstuff never got bigger. They were here before Oasis and are much beter in my humble opinion."
Ah...the memories

"This album brings back such memories. I remember being the only kid in 8th grade who had ever heard of The Wonder Stuff. I went to school with a bunch of geeks who preferred Madonna and Michael Jackson. I still quote Astley in the Noose whenever some 30-something friend starts swooning over Rick Astley ("Oh, he was sooooo cute!"). He hasn't got a use, but he's trying. If you like late 80s alternative Euro music with a sense of humor, check this out."
