Customer Reviews Amazing Prosto je neverovatno kako su od B strana singlova uspeli da naprave odlican album savrseno uklopljen. Svaki put Saint Etienne mi priredi iznenadjenje. Najbolji materijal koji je dosada bend objavio. Od samog pocetka sa instrumentalom Roseneck pa do samog kraja uz pesmu Thank You, bend vam nedozvoljava da se trgnete iz sanjarenja u kojeg su vas strucno uveli. Pesme koje se izdvajaju su: Stevie, Shoot Out The Lights i Mountain Rain. Posle Thank You slede dve bonus pesme t. j remix za Boy Is Crying i Lose That Girl. Obavezno za kolekciju. You could do no wrong with Saint Etienne . . "Queen of Polythene" is just absolutely dreamy, something you expect to hear in a cool breezy jazz bar on a Saturday night. If you love Sarah Cracknell's honey-smooth voice (and who doesn't?), hearing her sing in Francaise in "Le Ballade de Saint Etienne" will make your heart melt with delight. "Northwestern" continues the Etienne's tradition of creating fabulous pop music with a dash of evil mixed in. Yes, it's an album of B-sides, but the flow is still surprisingly smooth. And finally, the included video for "How We Used to Live" is worth the purchase alone. Because, hey, where else in the States can you find a SE video?. I'm a big St Et fan, but..... EVER. oh my god, this album is the WORST one they have ever done. Even Sound of Water was better than this, and that was pretty much rubbish. B-sides of rubbish is even worse. I'm sorry I wasted money on this CD, seeing how I have all of their other albums and from 1991 to 1998, they were sublime. Perfect. Could do no wrong. This music has no beat, no tune, no melody. It's just DULL. If you like all the rest of their music, you will probably HATE this. A real step in the wrong direction. .
