This one was really sneaky. I found it so bouncy and fun that I decided to look them up and, lo and behold, everybody wrote about their lyrics and how they defy expectations with the music. This album is like if The Clash went and decided to model themselves after what they wished Paul Weller sounded like post Paris Match.
One of these guys would go off and become Fatboy Slim.
