5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply a classic 18 April 2005
Format:Audio CD
About 10 years ago, at the height of Oasis and Britpop etc, I purchased this album simply so that I could have my own copy of There She Goes, which was the only song that I played from it at the time. After hearing a Lee Mavers story a couple of years ago, older, wiser and intruiged, I decided to give the album a listen, and it has rarely left my CD-player. It is quite simply one of the greatest guitar-rock/pop albums of all time, and can stand up against the best of them despite what Lee Mavers may say!
From the opening Son of a Gun to the closing Looking Glass, the album is filled with fantastic melodies and deceptively complex lyrics which in my opinion elevate this album to classic status. Great uplifting pop songs like Timeless Melody, Feelin, and songs that appear bright until you scratch the surface to reveal layers darkness (such as I Can't Sleep and There She Goes) ensure that this is one album that demands attention.

15 years after its release it still sounds exciting and fresh, The La's LP is the yardstick against which all other melodic rock albums should be judged.

5.0 out of 5 stars Undoubted Classic 17 July 2005
Format:Audio CD
This is one of the most underarated album ever. This album has not received enough recognition it deserves. Special Credit has to go to Lee Mavers, Songwriter and singer.This would be one of the best albums in the past generation, if life was different

They create a 60's sound through their music (Pop music). The Strong influence in their music is the Beatles, (spot the guitar riff in 'feeling'). But, The La's themselves have influenced future bands, like Oasis and the Coral. This just shows the magnitude of their one and only album.
Each song except two, last under 3 minutes. But these 3 minutes songs are packed with pure genius, oozing with utter brillance. All of the songs contain a sense of Originality. The stand out tracks are 'timeless melody', and 'there she goes'.
The true test of any album though, is the aspect of longitivety. The La's have achieves that with flying colours.
So do yourself a favour, buy the album. An album which will be sitting proudly in your record collection for many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost La's 21 Sep 2002
Format:Audio CD
The La's were a lost band, out of kilter with the musical trends when they arrived and when they left a matter of two years later. Working-class Liverpool of the late '80s was at their core. The timeless melodies of all eleven songs are even made more startling by the deceptively simple lyrics. Buy the album from the bargain bin for "There She Goes" and you'll find "Son of a Gun", "Doledrum", "Feeling" and "Looking Glass". Almost every song seems to contain at least one line that sticks in your mind, hinting at the darker controlling forces of heroin and history that their Liverpool was subjected to in the depths of Thatcherism. The prettiness of '60s beat, tinged with psychedelia, is undercut with the feeling of failure and facing yourself and your family in the worst of times. Lee Mavers was a man who sensed that you couldn't ignore the past. "Looking Glass", with its references to deceptive mirrors and losing the way, faces the dilemma of a past that you can't live within, but that you can't live without. It's fantastic final rush, with echoes of the hooks of the previous songs, hits you like an electric surge with the sense that these songs had to return to their point of origin, the forces from which they were forged. A lost, great album.

This is an excellent album of guitar-driven indie. The first 11 tracks are shortish by comparison to 'Looking Glass', the finale, which rewards you with 7+ minutes of a lament that... Read more
