Ocean Colour Scene's fourth album (i think) and it presents its style completely differently to its predecessors. With songs like "Profit in peace" and "Jane, she got excavated" portraying Fowlers imaginative and somewhat obscure view to social unrest and others like "Families" and "No one at all" showing his admiration at positive domestic situations. His lyrics are reminisent of Paul Wellers purple patch in the early 80s. Also superb riffs by Craddock in "July" and "Soul Driver", and definately listen out for the acoustic and piano lead in "The waves". Classic.
