1993 debut album.
Probably their worst release. There isn't much here to differentiate them from countless other Brit guitar bands during the early '90s, but there are a few glimpses of the breathtaking genius that would characterise the string of albums starting with The Bends, that would lead them close to world domination...
The angst anthem that is Creep is a case in point. Still gives me the shivers when I hear it.
In common with almost all of their albums, my fondness for this one grows with each listening.
AllMusic 3/5 stars.
