Think I went back and picked up this debut after getting the follow up. Wasn't nearly as impressed with this one. Just makes the like mark. No standouts and 3 I just don't like. Wish I had the original album cover. It was cooler. This was a highly praised debut album, so I think I'm in the minority on my opinion. Just don't think Faulkners voice here is up to par with at least the next 2 albums. Some of them here don't even sound like Faulkner, which is what I liked about the group. All I have are the first 3 albums. Doesn't even show that this hit the charts here in the states. Is that right?! Who's got a Joel Whitburn chart book out there? How did this fare in the land down under? Bueller, anyone?

Worst Track - (Let's All) Turn On
Best Track - My Girl
Once a girl took my love until I couldn't give anymore,
Then I tried to pretend not to see what I couldn't ignore.
My girl don't love me at all
Anymore.
I took her to the dance and then I didn't see her all night.
Then a friend said he saw her with some other boy just outside.
When I went out she was alone.
She said, "I would like to go home"
I asked her, "Who were you with?"
She said, "No-one."
I could tell that she lied
(And a voice said inside)
My girl don't love me at all
Anymore.
Not at all.
