The Katydids second (and last) album continued the vein of bright, jangly guitar driven pop. This album certainly has its moments - the single Seesaw is one of my all-time favourite pop tracks - however the quality of songwriting is less consistent than the first album, and I personally prefer the rawer production of the debut (I think Nick Lowe produced that).
Overall, I would recommend buying the first album over this one, which is a true lost gem. If you find you like the first, this is worth a punt if you are prepared to use the "skip" button on your CD player.

Better than you think

This is the second and last album by the unjustly overlooked early 90s rock band with charming lead singer Susie Hug. I would give this album five stars were it not for the opening track "The Boy Who's Never Found,", a meandering 5 minute unmelodic track with an inelegant title. But the rest of it is good stuff; if you haven't yet heard the Katydids' first(self-titled) album, start there, it is a treat. This one has its treats too - "Almost and Nearly," "Many of My Friends," and "Seesaw" are superb, energetic, upbeat, tuneful, thoughtful guitar pop songs that could have been hits and still sound fresh today. "Faith To Change" is also an excellent song, with tasteful strings augmenting the band at just the right moments. The Katydids never made a big impact but they were good, quite good, and you owe yourself the pleasure of getting to know them.

I'm still listening to this record after twenty years! Suzie Hug's vocals are fabulous and the music just works. I still get pleasure from going back and listening to these incredibly catchy tunes regularly. I have a b-side acoustic single of Some Mysterious sigh that's haunting, melodic, and insanely difficult to keep out of your head; the album version is just as strong and is a real gem.

I saw The Katydids mentioned on a blog along with a short audio clip. I liked what I heard so I went hunting for the CD.
Glad I did. I love the melodies and Susie Hug's voice is the perfect compliment to them.
Spend a little and get a lot.
