But those B-sides... A straightahead rock & roll number like 'Dancin'' could be accused of being throwaway if the vocals weren't just brimming with passion, and from then on things just get better. Working under the guise of trademark Wildhearts songs (mega riffs, staccato verses and HUGE choruses), these tracks pull the rug from under you, launching into a hyperactive guitar solo or else sliding into a heart-melting middle section that leaves you trying to remember when a song last touched you >there<.

There's nothing quite as eclectic here as on earlier offerings, and ultimately the emphasis is on big, big tunes of many varieties. But I challenge anyone to listen to 'Lake of Piss' and come away without the song buzzing around in their head. Even if 'So Into You' disappoints, there's plenty of material here to keep you going until the band's next album, The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed, is unleashed after the summer.
