MicShaz, no problem. I'm used to people crapping on my albums now. I am a little surprised you thought it was all so poppy and nice, as from what I know of them, Prefab weren't seen that way, though in fairness their singles were all pretty much vacuous and poppy on the surface (remember "The King of Rock and Roll"? No? Here's a reminder. Who could forget a video where lifesize hot dogs dance with frogs beside a pool? )

But there's a lot of political intent in McAloon's lyrics, if you listen. I'll elaborate on this in my own review later. But not to worry: I didn't like your last rec and anyway, we're all putting our albums out here with the understanding that they may be trashed. Two people have liked this one so far, so that's better than I could have hoped for, even if everyone else ends up hating it.
