In a desperate attempt to claw back some chart credibility this is only out for a week, which is miles less astounding than realising that ‘Why Can’t I Be You’ is half alright. Cripes.
Rick Witter was always a poor man’s Ian Brown or perhaps even Liam Gallagher, not exactly a prestigious position to occupy, but here he sticks firmly within his limited vocal range and sounds all the better for it.
Opening with a confrontational “do you have an opinion / would it mean something to me?”, the guitars are surprisingly chirpy and the pace is (s)punky. The crap keyboard parps are still rubbish, mind.
Shit, this wasn’t supposed to happen – what are the odds, in 2003, on a Shed 7 comeback?? Let’s hope – nay, pray – this is a false dawn.

Re: Shed 7 - Why Can’t I Be You?
What I want to know is who the hell is still buying this stuff? Every ex-Shed 7 fan I know has moved on either to different music or a medium-security prison.
Anyway, I gather it's not a cover of the Cure song, which might at least have been moderately amusing...
