Product Description
From Amazon.com
Teenage Fanclub were touted as the next big thing for three minutes after its 1991 major-label debut, Bandwagonesque. That album is still the band's best--a sly, effortless approximation of Big Star, capturing most of that band's charm with only a fraction of the emotional turmoil. Six years and a few music trends later, Teenage Fanclub were still writing and singing sunny, optimistic tunes that sound great blasting from a car stereo. Songs from Northern Britain doesn't match the band at its peak, but "Ain't That Enough" is the best Byrds knockoff released in years, and "Start Again" sounds chipper enough to make you believe no romance is too doomed to be saved. The band's three equal songwriters--Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley, and Gerry Love--are all incurable romantics. When written on paper, a lyric like "can't feel my soul without you" is easy to make fun of, but when their voices melt together with obvious feel-good sincerity, only a cynic could complain. --Keith Moerer

Yes, yes, yes: Beatles.....Byrds......harmonies....good musicians. Oh, how dull. Except it's not. "Winter", "Aint the Enough": solid gold classics and make no mistake. Eradicate the occasional lyrical clanger ("It's a bad world" Really? Hold that front page)and you've got a very appealing proposition on your hands.

This album is underrated.,
By MMS "plasticspoons" (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Songs from Northern Britain (Audio CD)
I remember when I bought this album, as I drove away listening, I turned back immediately to return it because the 1st song struck me as way too syrupy, and I was immediately disappointed. I kept repeating it as I drove back, and ended up listening to the 1st three songs a couple of times, and decided to turn around again and give it a chance. I am not one for syrupy, sentimental music, but the thing about this album, is that Teenage Fanclub is obviously trying to make a well recorded album, bucking the low-fi trend at the time. It's funny that a rock band would have to defend, or isn't cool because, they are trying to write, record and perform as well as they can. If you can look past that, this album is perfect from start to finish, a totally professional A+ performance.

really - lack of good songs and plenty of unfinished riffs and boring vocals.i thought that Teenage fanclub would be something more english styled but the only thing that they remind me is a third-league american country band
