    You sense they need a couple of pure pop gems that the Mary Chain had submerged within the noise to perfect the classic sound they aspire to. [Jun 2005, p.95]

    Straight away, I have to say "I love this album". "Win your love", "Love Is An Unfamiliar Name" and "Lion Rip" are fantastic, quick and energetic in-your-face rock songs. But don't get me wrong, the slower-paced songs, such as "Darling, You're Mean" are just as good, building up to a powerful finale! Leila Moss, not only being sexy and a great frontwoman, is a very very capable singer, and musically, the band are brilliant. One of the favourite ever albums. Highly reccomended!… Expand
