As bog standard as anthemic indie rock gets. Still have fond memories of Not Nineteen Forever, outside of that, this is just whatever really.

Standout: Not Nineteen Forever
Favs: Aftershow
Least fav: If it wasn’t for me

For British Indie Rock, The Courteeners' debut isn't necessary one which stands out instantly with acts like Spoon and Arctic Monkeys taking most of the spotlight but during this period there was such an explosion of Indie acts and this is a debut form one of those acts and well I've always enjoyed it and although it is not necessary a mind melting experience or cutting edge it offers some catchy and playful release.

I got recommended this by my English Teacher in exchange of me recommending him Ants From Up There. It's inconsistent but its also pretty fun at times. Overall not bad.
