Virginia band formed in 1992
six albums to their credit and this is their best selling at #24 here
last was in 2008 so I guess they're history
this is the bands only charting single
grunge rock I guess
hell I don't know, it's music

singles:
"Monkey Gone To Heaven"..........#60 UK
"Here Comes Your Man"..............#54 UK, #3 US
second album from this alt group...
music is a cross between grunge and punk for me...
I hear lots of Sonic Youth and Siouxsie & The Banshees through this one...
probably not to everyones tastes, but I like it
I checked MH's post of this one and on score we are on the same page...
we even rate the same track as best track...
we differ slightly on track scoring, on a few tracks though....

California band
not near as good for me as their debut, Up From Below
yet this charted higher at #5
probably on the strength of that previous effort
as none of 3 singles from here even charted
this was the first and the leadoff track
a nice in studio performance

ELVIS COSTELLO & THE ATTRACTIONS "all this useless beauty" cd, 1996
career stats:
studio albums.........30
singles...................62
this album...................#28 UK...#53 US
singles:
"its time".....................................#58 UK
"the other side of the telescope".....no charted action
"little atoms"...............................no charted action
"all this useless beauty"................no charted action
"distorted angel"..........................no charted action
"you bowed down"........................no charted action
album #19 for Mr.Costello....
one of the worst charting of his career to date...
six singles released and only one charted in the UK at a paltry #58, the rest failed to chart....
I guess he loved this one and really wanted it to sell....
a lot of slow ballady type material on this one with a couple of alt rockers thrown in the mix...
it makes the passing grade for me and im a fan, but by his standards it is very average...
but as usual theres a couple of great songs on it, but unusually, theres a few dud tracks also...
not a good place to start your collection of his music, one for the fans only.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
best track: the other side of the telescope
worst track: poor fractured atlas

third album from Perth boy Kevin Parker...
he records all of his albums in his home studio,plays all instruments and produces the final results...
his first album "innerspeaker" was totally psychedelic", his second "lonerism" was a bit more radio friendly but with
less psychadelia and a more guitar driven sound...
this one, his third, veers away from the guitar and goes more electronic/synth based...
the results....?
not as catchy as the second album but still melodic...
less variation in the songs on this one also....
but nonetheless not a bad album from a one man band from Perth, Western Australia, who also
happens to be one of the nicest people you could ever meet!
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: past life
best track: eventually
