Product Description

CD Description
'Surrounded By Stars' is the fifth album by grebo-indie survivors The Wonder Stuff. Packed with punky indie-dance numbers and bolstered by by frontman Miles Hunt's witty and oftencutting lyrics, this album is proof positive that whilst trends may come and go, good songwriting will always stand thetest of time. Includes the single 'Blah Blah Lah Di Dah'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to Form, 31 Mar 2006
By mccstuff (London) - See all my reviews
Anyone who listened to Escape From Rubbish Island as I did may have got a sinking feeling when first playing Suspended by Stars.

But it didn't take long for that feeling to be replaced by smiles, this album marks a return to form.

As others have said songs like 'Blah Blah...' 'Tricks of the Trade' and my 2 favourites 'We Hold Each Other Up' and 'Last Second of the Minute' are just classic Wonder Stuff songs.

If you've had any interest the the band before, buy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Wonder Stuff, 10 May 2006
This is the Wonder Stuff at their best, with a set of catchy tunes that hook you straight away. Tricks OF The Trade is a great opener, but my favourite tracks are 'Angelica Maybe' and 'Sun Goes Down..'. Great album that holds its own amongst a batch of great new British bands

4.0 out of 5 stars timewarp, 1 Mar 2006
By genejoke "Mmmm Shiny" (uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Listening to this album made me feel like I had stepped back in time to an alternate 1996 in which the stuffies didn't call it a day at the phoenix festival. Single blahblahladidah is a stuffies classic as is the opening track, tricks of the trade. We hold each other up is a slow burner that grows on you like a creeper vine.
This is an excellent album, all wonderdtuff fans need this, and everyone else should give it a go.
