The Wonder Stuff's second album is filled with the kind of radio-friendly, well-crafted Pop tunes that were so good at. The occasional use of violin, harmonica, and banjo gave it a Folksy element that distanced it a little from the usual lazy guitar British-Indie sound of the era. It may even help you forget the awful Bubblegum-pop of their début.
They were criticised for the cynical and angry lyrics that were at odds with the music, but conventions exist to be broken, don't they?
Songs of Note: Golden Green; Unfaithful
