I go back to it every year or so, and currently have it on heavy repeat... Triggered a feint memory that there was a thread here about classic albums, so thought I'd add it...trawling back through the thread, there it is! Bloody marvellous album, 25 years old in November. The hidden track at the end (A Natural) is just phenomenal lyrically (Fearghal always did have a way with words). I used to book them regularly when I was in College (basically, if we were stuck for someone of a Friday night, Whipping Boy or Therapy? were always there to dig us out!). I find it interesting that Fontaines DC regularly name check other Dublin bands as influences (mostly contemporaries), but never seem to mention Whipping Boy (I know they don't sound all that similar, but I hear a good bit of Fearghal in Grian...possibly just because they both sing with a Dublin accent). Maybe they are just too young to remember them! Anyway, I'll add the wonderful "Fiction" to the list of recommends from the album (they're all brilliant mind you)... Actually check out Puressence first album. Very similar vibe, very different voice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, can definitely hear the similarities underneath, though vocally obviously very different! Trying to think who she reminds me of! if you like them you might enjoy Bitch Falcon. Absolute monsters live, caught them a few times over here, would love to see them on the farm come June (yes, I still think we’ll make it next summer!)

Puressence is actually a male singer. A working class, brutally honest guy. Check out Mr Brown it's about mugging someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamber Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've nothing to add here now. I went a bit mental in this thread ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ earlier. On my best behaviour now. Very few duds here in my opinion. Isn't music expansive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say about time, but can understand the delay, what with the cost of Tim’s treatment. It’s here now though 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Picked up a lovely copy of this the other day: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st dan Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I know it’s been posted in here before, but my word this still holds as one of the greatest albums of all time. Every time I listen to it I forget just how perfect it is. Although it’s bitterly cold this morning, the sun is shining and this album really connected with me when played nice and loudly earlier. Better times are coming again! An absolute classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
