Saving the best songs 'til last, here.

A bit hit and miss, but there are some undeniable moments of brilliance on here.

Get this album, get 1983's self-titled and you're pretty much set for Madonna. William Orbit's production is spot-on.

My recollection is that this was kinda slated on release and dismissed as pop fluff. I think it's the best thing they've ever done.

Pretty hard to argue with an album that opens with Make a Deal with the City and follows it up with My Life is Wrong - probably his two best songs.

Ten songs in twenty minutes. Perfect pop.

Wall-to-wall bangers - even the interminable remixes of Fu-Gee-La tacked on at the end. The skits are garbage, obviously.

My favourite Wu-affiliated album. 36 Chambers and Return to the 36 Chambers tie for second.

The rest of the album is neither here nor there. Don't Falter is one of the greatest pop songs EVER and that song alone gets this album a nine.

At their best, they out-Stones the Rolling Stones themselves. Why the strongest track on the album, Everybody Needs Somebody, was relegated to secret track status is baffling. Might have been something to do with all that heroin...

Slightly misjudged production aside, this is surely one of the Fanclub's strongest collections of tunes. Gerard Love is on form, as always.
