This is a fantastic album, I think one of their best and I remember walking into my Saturday job very hungover with this playing religiously every time and didn't ever get bored playing it. The lyrics are clever and with the extra tracks, this is a must for anyone who even thinks they like the Wonderstuff. One of the few albums in the world where I love every single track, think about it yourself, how many of those exist-not many as there's normally one of two tracks which you skip....

What a belting album this is. The songs are quite brilliant and with the exception of "False Start" each one could have been a hit single. At first experience, the songs are good solid efforts with a great mix of guitar riff and folk touches provided by accordians and violins, though not overpoweringly so. However, it is with repeated listening that real appreciation comes. The lyrics, so easy to overlook as your senses are barraged with musical brilliance, suddenly come to mean so much. Okay, maybe Miles Hunt isn't Bob Dylan or John Lennon but he could be Michael Stipe, Paul Weller or (almost) Morrisey.
Quite simply, there isn't a bad song on this album, although "Welcome to the Cheap Seats" despite being a well known song is in my view the weakest, but for power, fantastic melodies and great lyrics check out this terrific album.

Famous for their infectious style of pop-rock The Stuffies change direction slightly with their third album. This is the first album with violinist Martin Bell permanently joining the by now 'ten legged groove machine', and his influences are there for all to see with a more folky sound. Not that it disguises Miles Hunts witty lyrics and the albums number of sing along anthems such as 'Size of a cow' and 'Welcome to the cheap seats'. This album may not be what you'd expect from The Wonderstuff, but it certainly surprises in all the right ways!! This album is a must for all Wonder Stuff fans, both old and new.

I bought this album having lost he copy I'd bought when it first came out about 5 years ago. Why did I wait so long. Read more

The Stuffies take to stadium-style rock as confidently as Jimmy Tarbuck. Thankfully, this is more satisfying and, despite the fact that much of the humour which made Hup! Read more

I'll admit it. I didn't even know The Wonder Stuff existed until September 1989, when some young girl I madly passionately loved brought a copy of some blue record called Hup into... Read more
