10th and final studio album by Felt, originally released on él, sub-label of Cherry Red, who reissued the album on cd in 2003. The album appears as the proclaimed final album by Felt, fulfilling an idea of releasing a total of 10 studio albums as stated by front-man Lawrence at the foundation of the band. The album is produced by The Sound lead guitarist, singer and composer, Adrian Borland, who manages to establish a new sound to the band, which feels wider and more vivid without losing the special tone of the band. Yet, it's not the band's best - it does contain new fine songs unlike its two predecessors, but it also contain several fillers. The characteristic Duffy organ is almost gone, and the sound is build on guitars and drums putting it close to the style of Lloyd Cole, and as a whole, and after two lesser albums, this is a fine last release by Felt.
