Customer Reviews Bring Back Britpop!! I think the first half of the disc is more memorable than the last, but any fans of Coldplay or James will truly dig this. Along with a slew of other Brit and Euro-pop bands that came out in the mid to late 90's, Geneva's debut just soars to me. Really great stuff with a great vocalist. Geneva captures the Britpop spirit The influences on 'Further' tend to repeat itself, only because they're that obvious, fortunately for Geneva. . not bad company to be compared to. The guitar-work combines the jangly-riffs of The Smiths and fluidity of Suede, shades of Echo and The Bunnymen, set to the uppity pace of James. Yes the vocals sound a tad like Tim Booth, but it's really a nice compliment to the lush guitar sound, combining textbook Britpop swagger with swooning Embrace-like strings/ballads. 'Further' shows alot of promise, but the album gradually peeters-out as being a tad formulaic. But when all is said is done, it's really the gems that outshine the dull edges. madly in love with their legenary debut left me speechless & kept haunting me until now. i get so let-down in "weather underground" ,which is a failure except for "if u have to go". "best regrets" & " tranquilizer" are uplifting & passionate, "fall apart button" & "wearing off" are melancholy & spacey. the vocal just goes perfectly with the music of Geneva,i can't single out a song i dun like from "further". .
