The second of a 2 album career, this one just barely holds up compared to their first one for me. Have to think it is because of the departure of co-founding member Chris Bell, leaving Alex Chilton to carry the load. Received excellent reviews on release but a distribution deal when Columbia bought out label Ardent, led to poor sales. Singles of O My Soul and September Gurls, neither of which had any impact. But we can always blame it on that label issue. The very nice but short last track makes up for the bad parts.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Mod Lang
Best Track - I'm In Love With A Girl
I'm in love with a girl
Finest girl in the world
I didn't know I could feel this way.
Think about her all the time
Always on my mind
I didn't know about love.
All that a man should do is true
I didn't know this could happen to me.
