It feels strange to finally get your hands on the album after all the build-up. How could they possibly live up to the impossible expectations weighted down upon their shoulders? Well, somehow they have. In fact, listening to the album, it soon becomes clear that "I Bet That You Look Good On the Dancefloor" isn't even a highlight on the album, eclipsed as it is by many of the other songs on here.

Yep, it's the ingredients everyone says. Lyrics made razor sharp by their killer combination of dry wit, honesty, simplicity and insight. A roaring punk racket. Tunes that you can whistle too. This is half of the band's genius - how simple it all is. No fuss, no embellishment, no unnecessary over-production. The music connects straight to you.

It's one of those albums that suitable for almost any occasion. It's great for driving, for unwinding to when you get in from work, for a morning wake-up, for when you've got friends round, it's worked beautifully for all these situations. For all this, the album is more than worthy. Ignore the fuss and just enjoy the music.
