2nd album by Adrian Borland, and like the debut released as Adrian Borland and The Citizens. This was another great album that wasn't received well. The press ignored it and so did the record buyers - the world's attention was on the new stylistic invention of grunge rock, and/or whatever the old heroes of popular music would bring about. To me, this is a gem, a brilliant example of great songwriting and a move away from the sticking label of post-punk. By this point Adrian had left the English playmates, moved to Amsterdam, and produced the album with new musical associates. The Sound and Adrian always had a big crowd of fans in the Dutch capital.
