Best Teenage Fanclub album

The First Sight is one of their best-ever songs

So I'm loving this new one, in spite of (because of?) the 'meandering / minor key' vibe mentioned upthread. I think, in my old age, I really prefer melodic, slow-and-stoned Fannies to melodic uptempo Big Star-y Fannies. After 3 or four listens, this may be my favorite since SONB.

I love how "I Was Beautiful When I Was Alive" kind of becomes an entirely different song at the end. Agree with the highlights already mentioned ("The Darkest Part Of The Night," "The First Sight") but oh man, the last third of this record is a real beaut. Love the guitar on "It's A Sign." Actually, the guitar sounds in general are terrific.

My friend calls this band "The Fountains Of Wayne It's OK To Like"

I'm still starting every morning with this record. Definitely my favorite since Songs Of Northern Britain

Yeah, the new album is surprisingly great. I might agree that it's their best singles Northern Britain, although I really I like Howdy.

The new album is wonderful. There is hardly a bad song on it. They still have the knack for those innocent naive melodies. Probably their second best after Bandwagonesque.

I love it on 'Get Funky' when you hear "howdy disco citizens" at the beginning. Sounds like it could be a direct sample from ABC's 'A to Z', actually!
