One of the essential britpop albums but at the same time so much more than that since it brought to attention a huge talent - Luke Haines.
Luke Haines seamlessly mixes beatlesque harmonies and Bowie's glam noir, all shrouded in some of the sharpest lyrics you'll ever hear, allowing him to create his own (very) dark universe of disilusion, thinly veiled self loathing and Bellerophon worthy hubris.
You could take this for the harmonies and it would be splendid, but you could take this solely for the lyrics and it would be captivating as well - both elements sewn together it makes for a seriously impactant album.
