It is an 8 out of 10 score for me . It’s a superb album but it’s behind probably 5 other charlatans album for me . Such as some friendly , up to our hips and between the 10th and 11th .
Liked oasis and the stone roses in patches around this time and for my musical tastes the charlatans outlasted both by a long way in quality and longevity.

I will check that album out too.Glad you enjoyed it. If there's time in the crowded listening space, I can recommend the album that came after this - Us and Us Only. There are times on that that the Dylan influence is even more apparent but they mix it up to good effect. Like I said in my review, it's a toss-up for which of these albums is the better.

It's really not.That's like saying Pep's influence on Steve Clarke is obvious, but his football is not like Pep's.
Liam's phrasing at times is Lennonesque but he sings in a Manc accent so they sound very different.

A part of Get it on? Lol it's the whole basis of Cigarettes & AlcoholThere is a part of "Get On It" that sounds a bit like Oasis but that's being picky.

It was more a comment/comparison of quality.
'Yes yes, we get it, you don't like Oasis coat!'
Back to the album at hand, sorry everyone.

First listen.
It's a wall of weirdly produced noise with what sounds like a poor oasis tribute act singing over the top. I googled them, turns out they are from Birmingham.
11 songs all sounding the same apart from the rubbish end one and one in the middle that was a bit slower. I'll delve into that more when I listen again.
Not that I want to listen again really as it's quite dire. But 3 listens is what I give all of these albums and three listens it shall get. God help my ears.
