Having spent years writing angry-young-man, angst filled loud, pop rock, David Gedge brings us up to a coming of age. The songs are so well written and executed, this is the Wedding Present's answer to dismiss any doubts from rough period of releasing a single-per-month and losing some of the core members of the band. I believe this is also the first album in which the Wedding Present started to write songs as a band, as opposed to David Gedge writing everything himself. The extra song writing influences increase the durability of this album and the evolution of Wedding Present into one of UK's finest rock bands.
