4.0 out of 5 stars Great solo effort, 28 April 2008
By Lee-Lee (Halifax) - See all my reviews
I got hold of a copy of this at one of Mark's gigs with The Mummys and have to say its been played a lot in a short time since then. Im a big fan of The Bluetones and there is enough on here that is along those lines to make this album very easy to get into. But equally there are times that Mark manages to venture away from that sound and you can see why he did not feel these songs could fit on a Tones album.

Trying to listen to this as a real solo debut album without thinking of The Bluetones is near impossible. Thats not a bad thing and songs like the brilliant single 'I'm Sick' as well as 'Bienvenido' and opener 'How Maggie Got her Bounce Back' sound like some of the best pop-like tunes the Bluetones have produced. However its the songs that venture away from this which hold the most interest, 'So It Goes' and 'Unwanted Friend' are some of the best pieces he has produced in years and are far darker than I had expected to hear from him.

His covers of 'Alcoholiday' and 'My Autumns Done Come' work very well in with the rest of the material here and do more than just fill the album on top of the tracks from the FiLo Beddow EP.

Well worth adding to your collection if your a fan of The Bluetones, if not it might still be worth having a listen to 'So It Goes' 'I'm Sick' and 'Unwanted Friend' as probably the best (and least Bluetones like) songs on the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best solo effort of 2008 so far, 4 Jul 2008
By Mr. K. Das "kris_das" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're a fan of decent pop songs -- and by that I mean really catchy tunes with cutting lyrics -- then you'll love this album. If you're a fan of the Bluetones and haven't bought this yet, then I'd say it is darker and a bit moodier in places than the vast majority of their output, but still just as memorable.

I don't think anyone could seriously doubt Mark Morriss's tremendous ability as a singer/songwriter, and 'Memory Muscle' finds the man in great form.

(REAL NAME)   
A wonderful piece of work from the bluetones front man . Very well crafted songs , this is an album to put on and forget your troubles while it takes you away somewhere better. If you like the bluetones you will love this album , in fact even if you don`t like the bluetones you will love this album.
