Oh
Ash, let me count the ways that I love thee... No, sorry, too many.
The band with the most under-rated second album in music history (and believe
me, there are many) return with the precursor to their '
Intergalatic Sonic
Sevens' singles collection. This of course provokes two reactions; firstly
"is that not the coolest title for a Best Of album ever?" (answer, yes)
and; "Have they been around that long already?" and once again, the
answer is yes. Don't take them for granted, they're not going to be around forever,
and even if they are, they'll look pretty shit past 40, and surely, this gold
seam of songwriting magnificence can't keep going for another 19 singles?.
The song? Well, brilliant, of course. A typically concise stomping power pop
song with bags of atttitude, a verse as infectious as the chorus and a killer
middle eight. With added girl-group-esque sighs and Ronettes-lite backing
vocals courtesy of Charlotte (I presume), it's a life-affirming brew.
And Tim Wheeler can say "c'mon baby" better than anyone.
Ash - Envy

On the subject of Envy, I think its crap. it sounds like Ash regurgitating themselves. and to think that they used to be my favourite band.
