Nice one man. Easily the best album they did; but then again I love the whole pastoral whimsy thing with some of the shoegaziness carried over from the sublime (but very of it's era) 'Leisure'. Always said it was like 'Village Green Preservation Society' for the 90's... and it definitely kicked of anti-American music thing in britpop.
Their artwork was top notch aswell and you wouldn't get a popular band cutting through the bull**** with something like 'Chemical World' today, for shame. And it predated the reactionary pub jukebox nonsense of Oasis aswell (as much as I love them too).
now go out and buy 'Starshaped'.
