Ten years on from the first time I heard this album I can still slap it on and be taken straight back to my teenage years. I got my guitar at the same time as the album and spent hours trying to master the riffs and melodies that for me make this album a winner. The lyrics are cheeky and Ms Wener's voice suits the tracks to the ground. Every track tells a different story and helps to sum up the sound and feeling of the time that was britpop. Purchase and enjoy!

God this takes me back! I still remember the day I purchased this CD. I met a friend on the bus on my way home from work who was telling me about some of the lyrics on it. I so desperately wanted to get home and play it (I was 17 and living with my parents at the time) but he dragged me down the pub and 6 very happy hours later I finaly got home and put this in the CD player......
Its one of the soundtracks to my most cherished stages of my life. I can't listen to this CD without being reminded of warm summer nights, the smell of lager and cigarettes, and generally living in a country that was happy and everyone was nice to one another! Stephen Bustler if you're reading this - thanks for a great evening - and I'm sorry I smoked all your ciggies!
I don't blame you all if you give this an unhelpful rating, as I've not actually reviewed any of the tracks on the CD, but I guess you just had to be there that night to appreciate what it means to me. P.S. I love you Louise Wener!!

Laying the Groundwork for "The IT Girl."
Although the great band 'Sleeper' would reach its peak with its second album, and tragically, break up after releasing its third, 'Smart' is still a very good album; bursting with... Read more

A lost classic
I revisited this album recently (think I bought it on the day of release back in my student days) and was reminded of what a blistering debut it is. Read more

One INCREDIBLE song and a lot of fillers
'Inbetweener' is in my opinion one of the best songs of the 1990s, possibly even the best song. It's awesome, pure pop laden with hooks and with lyrics Morrissey would have been... Read more

Excellent debut. Punky and in your face!
Sleeper WERE synomynous with brilliant, spikey guitars, forthright vocals, provided by Ms Louise Wener, with lyrics full of witty observation and controversy - 'Swallow' and... Read more
