This is the strongest of Republica's 2 albums. This is fast poprock with ladles of attitude and a dash of trance. Saffron's no-nonsense goading lyrics cut to the quick even if some of the references are a bit dated now (red shoes, megadrive?)but this was the nineties. So, is the music dated? Not a chance. Ready to Go is still used on TV as the England international football theme.
This is music to listen to while bombing down a tunnel in a hot hatchback.
The next album, Speed Ballads, has shades of the brilliance of this album but if you want to catch Republica at their creative zenith then this first one is the one to get.

Come on People! For 6 months in 1997 we loved this officialy wiered group. Many people still do. I myself am the creator of the unofficial website www.freewebs.com/republica - This is a good album. Unfortunally it contains a lot of their early dance music e.g. "Out of the Darkness". Stand out traks include "Ready to Go", "Bloke", "Drop Dead Gorgeous", "Picture Me" and "Holly". If you want REAL republica then get the next album up from this "Speed Ballads". That is a great album!!!

Republica have managed to fuse rock and pop in one brilliant album. Driving music with with pouting female vocal, it is an unusual mix but works perfectly.

I still listen to this record every once in a while and still thoroughly enjoy it.
It definitely has that mid-90's sound but in a way, it hasn't dated as much as it should... Read more

The good is great, the bad is mediocre
If you've heard of any of Republica's stuff and like it, this is the album to get. The sound of Ready To Go and Drop Dead Gorgeous is replicated throughout with varying success -... Read more

Well I don't know what your problem is, really.
This is a good album. Anyone who bought this and was dissapointed clearly didn't buy it for the right reasons. Read more

Pretty, pretty dire
This album has two standout tracks, both of which were singles and were quite sucessful, the infectious "Ready to Go" and the brilliantly fun "Drop Dead Gorgeous". Read more
