Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Swedish popsters the Wannadies share several traits in common with their compatriots, the Cardigans. One, their songs have been used extensively in TV commercials--songs such as this album's sparkly "You And Me Song" and happy-sad, bittersweet "Hit". Two, both groups started off creating fluffy, bouncy, delightfully light-of-touch 1960s-style pop music, but later mutated into something far more serious and snarling. Rock kids, both. This means that 1996's Bagsy Me is far sweeter, far more in thrall to the Wannadies' acknowledged influences like Seattle's Posies and punk stalwarts the Buzzcocks than later offerings. And three, both bands released a debut album in the UK which wasn't actually a debut--leading to considerable confusion among fans afterwards. Bagsy Me is mainly notable for the afore mentioned singles and for the nine-minute epic "That's All", which is as catchy as sunburn in Melbourne and 10 times as fun. --Everett True

This is how it should be done- remembers tunes you could whistle?, songs that gave you goosebumps?, songs which made you happy/cry/laugh? .. Here they are. This is one of the best investments you'll ever make.

I've only ever once before felt the need to put pen to paper to praise something unreservedly and that was a newspaper piece abouth the death of a dog by Brian Sewell. This album hit me in a similar way, cheap and potently emotional. In delivering cheap potent music efficiently Bagsy Me is unsurpassed. Normally, a slight imperfection can make something merely beautiful into something extraordinairy. Take the Australian bird I'm looking at now, by no means perfect, but oh boy is she sweetly attractive. Perfection is dull. This album is full of imperfections, but somehow they have been turned into something majestic. I have played this so many times and yet not once have I been left unsatisfied. Top notch. I've bought the album, now all I have to do is to try and chat the Australian woman up.

This CD is amazing. I knew a bit about the group, and decided to get the album to find out more. It starts well (Because), and then blows you away (Friends, Shorty...) Someone Somewhere is brilliant, and Thats All is superb. It's a really diverse CD, covering different styles, but this is all for the better, and helps to keep it interesting. Buy it - it won't dissapoint.

very good album I prefer this album to 'be a girl' because it flows a lot better and all the songs are quite catchy and memorable, also its quite happy and upbeat.

This is one of my favourite albums of all time. Each song is a beautifully written pop song. They should have been much bigger than they got if it were not for record company... Read more
