I can't believe that there are so many cloth-eared shop hataz out there. Well, I can, but it is a bit sadface. I find it of a piece with their other albums in its playfulness.

Great Album. One bad song only.

Their side-project Clinton was even more underrated. Very simple beats, but I was mesmerized, and played it nonstop for months.

I may be cloth-eared, but the cloth is silk.

It holds up! In some ways sounds better than when it came out because so many British bands had being doing albums covering a certain range of eclectic styles (bit of disco, T-Rex, techno tune then a straight rock number) through the 90s and that approach was a bit played out by 2002. And "Raised Platform" is an annoying rip of Brimful of Asha. But Cornershop are so good. All their albums since then have been great, though I haven't heard the new one yet.
