It is rare for me to buy an album and like every song, but this album is exceptional. It is a fantastic selection of Inspiral Carpets music. From the haunting "Two World's Collide," to the thought-provoking "Bitches Brew," I cannot recommend this album enough. This is the Inspirals at their best, and despite the age of the album, the lyrics are as strong and relevant now, and the tunes as beautiful, as they were when it was first released.

Am currently collecting Inspirals albums, going to see them on Saturday in Manchester, then again when they support Happy Mondays in May...listened to this tonight and its brilliant, takes you right back to the heady 90's Madchester music scene...lovely bit of nostalgia, great album !!!

(Four and a half stars) Their best album
8 Dec 2005
Format:Audio CD
Basically with the very solid "Revenge of the Goldfish," the Inspiral Carpets combined the best aspects of their buoyant retro-sounding debut album, "Life," and their more serious weightier second album, "The Beast Inside." Start to finish, "Revenge" is exciting, and a pleasure to listen to. I especially like four songs: "Generations," "I'm Not Your Saviour," "Smoking Her Clothes," and "Two Worlds Collide," which I consider four of the band's all-time best. The first two mentioned need almost be listened to together in order to fully appreciate each. Along with "Smoking Her Clothes" the band demonstrates tremendous vitality, with fine lyrics and great vocal and organ work. "Two Worlds Collide," has an almost apocalyptic feel to it, and is easily the band's most interestingly unique song.
While there are other British bands from this period that I like better -- i.e. The Stone Roses, Charlatans, Verve, Ride, Catherine Wheel -- "Revenge of the Goldfish," which is the Inspiral Carpets at their best, stands up as among the better albums from the British groups of this era. No other post-1960s band has used a retro-sounding organ so effectively as Inspiral organist Clint Boon did. Plus, Tom Hingley's vocal work really stands out here, and is quite different from those other Ian Brown (Stone Roses) sounding front-men.

Relisten, not review!

Time is best judge of music. Not sales or fans or media. Just time. And this brilliant album aged gloriously. Ten yars later,
still powerful, contagious, euforical and fresh, it step to a
higher level, where only masterpieces have place.

The art work on this album sings for it self!

Im not your Saviour, im not here to Help You.

Careless!!!! or insouciant shall we say? Inspiral Carpets released "Revenge of the Goldfish" wich is between other of their releases like "Devil Hopping" among others the best of the 90s British albums, they helped to define the past decade in its own identity, Stone Roses, soup dragons, charlatans uk etc did their part, this time Inspiral Carpents deserve my mention british avant-garde rock, and the sound of manchester were a part of my life at the time and still i keep a room for this genre
