Also, I pretty much agree with your take on the album. I never ever listen to it anymore because it's just not worth it as an album but there are definitely some good songs. This album and that one album by the Rapture, and a !!! album were my only real attempts at 'dance punk' which got really dull really quickly for me.
Yes I know I know, liking music just to please someone can be pretty lame, especially if you try to become an 'overnight fan' like what I did, but she was damn hot! I also agree that it's a shame that the album breaks down after a few listens, but I think what prompted its inclusion on this list was sheer nostalgia. Sure some of the songs are bad, but the memories attached to the album are still as clear as ever, and that can really bring up one's opinion of something when memories are attached.
