One of the greatest CDs ever by one of the greatest bands

"A great follow up to their first album (Eight Legged Groove Machine).It's a shame that this band never got that big in the US, but I had the pleasure and privilege of seeing these guys in the late eighties/early nineties. This one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Every song is catchy and not in a bad way. This release also has a couple of extras such as covers of "Gimme Some Truth" and the Young Rascals' "Get Together" which weren't released on the original album version but I beleive were released as singles during this time. No way to describe this cd except buy it. If you're sick of all of the music on the radio, this will bring you back to a time when music meant something."

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS

"This band and this album are great - irresistable beat, truly hilarious lyrics and catchy rhythms. It has always amazed me that virtually no one knows them because they are really top notch. Kind of Elvis Costello, kind of the Jam."

Still my favorite 'Stuff'

"The Wonder Stuff's second album combines the snotty arrogance of their debut,"Eight Legged Groove Machine", with some of the refined song-writing and pop sense of the subsequent "Never Loved Elvis" album. For some reason, it is their least popular record, though it is by FAR my favorite from the Stuffies. In fact, is one of my top 10 albums OF ALL TIME! (my CD collection numbers into four figures...) The sequence of "Golden Green","Let's Be Other People","Piece of Sky","Can't Shape up", and "Don't Let me Down, Gently" is unequalled by ANY Brit-Pop band from ANY era (with the exception of those lads from Liverpool). If you've liked other Wonder Stuff music or late 80's Brit-Pop in general, do NOT miss this one."
