- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2025Great CD fast delivery and really good price
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2015Dizzy Heights
Like you do is one of those songs that reminds the most of baroque pop era Beatles, but makes an impression with a bigger sensability for mildness in tone and a fully glued together sound, ditto with 'sugar coated iceberg' is also a right on baroque pop punch that like the aformentioned song also uses synthtextures to make things complete., you can hear it brooding in the atmosphere. It is easy to take this kind of pop for granted, because the sound is so slick and always on the roll. It is interesting how some songs that sound so charming really deal with bloody serious subjects as in ready or not' deals with anxiety disorder,and here we go til we drop it boarders mania while producing those kicking hooks. Likewise on the majesticly swinging opening imaginary friends. - it is really a tragic story, but it has a rippin beat and chord structure.
Remeber I talked about earlier how the seeds sounds like the byrds, on dizzy heights there is even a song on here penned by them, but there is more to dizzy heights than a 60's love affair IAN BROUDIE OWNS the scene, the tech and specs and he has everything under control!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2013Released in November 1996, The Lightning Seeds' fourth album will please all fans of Britpop. With 'Dizzy Heights', there isn't a dull moment. Most of the songs are so upbeat that it's difficult not to become addicted after the first play, and even the slower ones will have you humming along. The opening track 'Imaginary Friends' and 'Touch and Go' could easily have been successful had they been released as singles.
Not that the album falls short of well known songs, all four singles: 'Ready or Not', 'What If..', 'Sugar Coated Iceberg' and 'You Showed Me' hit the top twenty. The whole CD never fails to boast my mood, and whilst I wouldn't say it was The Lightning Seeds' best album, the predecessor 'Jollification' was a tough act to follow, the band certainly hit a high with 'Dizzy Heights'.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2016So many songs on this album you recognise, definitely up with Jollification as a good listen. Ian Broudie is an underestimated genius.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2019Great used product
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2016Another super album.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2025Who ever cut this record to vinyl is either a bad mastering engineer or the source that was given to them was an over eq’d monstrosity. Too much emphasis on the high frequencies like razor blades coming at your ears through speakers. Not good.

Michael WeckReviewed in Germany on 18 August 20135.0 out of 5 stars Feiner 90er-Pop mit Gute-Laune-Garantie
Astreine Pop-Perlen aus der Blütezeit der Lightning Seeds: Toll produziert, gehen die Gute-Laune-Dreiminüter sofort ins Ohr. Kann man (mit Pausen) immer wieder hören, ohne dass es langweilig wird!
