2nd studio album by The Fratellis and the band's first and only to be released by Island Records. The album doesn't contain the same immediate power pop and garage rock-inspired electrifying compositions, however, it still made it to #5 on the UK albums chart list. The original UK version of the album also contained the track "Jesus Stole My Baby", but it was removed from international releases.
The album doesn't come really close to the originality of the debut, and simply lacks great tunes, and in that way turns out like the difficult sophomore release.
After an extensive world tour the band went on a hiatus during which Jon Fratelli founded the band-project The Codeine Velvet Club and later also released his solo debut album Psycho Jukebox (2011) before returning to write new songs for a third album by The Fratellis.
