There is rarely a substandard track to be heard on this fine album, with "I Kiss the Flower in Bloom" being able to grace any Oasis or R.E.M. album.
4y
great jangle poprock record featuring lovely echoing vocals and noisy guitars.
definitely can see how this inspired many albums that came out later and jangle pop as a whole.
"A Prophecy" is def my favourite, the introspective and ominous lyrics paired with the monotone delivery really does something for me, and the melody feels like an immediate classic with its groovy surf rock influences
