Title: A white sportscoat and a close crustacean
Product review: Before Britpop was homogenized by the puzzling success of Oasis it was represented proudly by bands like the Wonder Stuff, the Jazz Butcher, and the Close Lobsters. What they all had in common was a knack for combining an infectious melody with wicked wit - and you don't need me to tell you that it was the wit part of the equation that got jettisoned with the advent of the brothers Gallagher. The highlights here are the title track and "Just Too Bloody Stupid" (which really deserves to be a world anthem), but the entire disc offers many moments of sparkling pop and small wonder.
