전작의 아메리칸 록 테이스트에서 돌변, UK 록의 이름을 대표함에 적당한 풍성한 스케일감과 프론트맨 켈리 존스(Kelly Jones)의 독특한 카리스마가 더욱 빛나는 스페이시 사운드로 가득하다. 발매 동시 18주 동안 차트 1위를 차지한 'Dakota', 켈리 존스 특유의 시적이고 감성적인 가사가 돋보이는 'Superman' 'Rewind' 등 주옥같은 넘버 수록. .... ....
You don’t know what it’s been like Meeting someone like you You don’t know what it’s been like Meeting someone like you
You look like Jesus on an aeroplane Ya head’s against the window pane You got opinions but you ain’t got news You got good laughs but when it suits you

Doorman you got an attitude Ya like immigration in a cheaper suit You’d like nothing more than to break my face No rhythm no reason no colour or race

It's your time It's your day It's never too late To change lanes How's your life? How's your place? Was it where you wanted Your head to lay? But wait, you can breathe You can see what I can see Don't waste your time You can't make back If you could rewind your time Would you change your life? Do you like you? Do you love your wife? Or did you pick what You're told was right? Dream and be What you feel Don't you compromise What you wanna be 'Cause change is okay What's the point in staying the same Regrets, forget what's dead and gone If you could rewind your time Would you change your life? If Jesus rode in on a camel today With your cross on his shoulder Time to take you away Have you done all you wanted? Are you happy and warm? Do you miss someone special You don't see anymore? Have you blood on your hands? Do you dream of white sands? Can you sleep well at night? Have you done all you can? The place I was born in Stays crooked and straight I see innocent blue eyes Go blind everyday Rewind your time Would you change your life Today?

Lolita You make my wheel set me free Won't you come home with me? Lo... Lolita You make my wheel set me free Won't you come home with me? Oh we used to meet at the waterfall Pink heather on the falling wall Nothing to prove Oh drank beer from a stolen can Smoke cigarettes when we can Because we like to Lo... Lolita You make my wheel set me free Won't you come home with me? Lo... Lolita You make my wheel set me free Won't you come home with me? Memories tangled up the spokes that Make my wheel Make my wheel Oh everything has gone wrong I left you at the gold motel Selling junk at the carousel That bound you down Can't find you now Lo... Lolita You make my wheel set me free Won't you come home with me? Lo... Lolita You make my wheel set me free Won't you come home with me? Lo...

Just another lush I got my ten green bottles In my pocket for luck
In another rut Get your deadhead In the shed once again My friend
Inside, outside, upside, downside See my face wanna take me home I missed you sister, shake your pistol Hear my voice on your telephone ...
Inside, outside, upside, downside See my face wanna take me home I missed you sister, shake your pistol Hear my voice on your telephone
Cigarette burning, got an opal ring Dirty magazine turning, you’re a bird who sings Sleeping on a shag pile, sleeping on me Sleeping like an angel watching over me
Here it comes again Like the first time again I cant sleep I watch the rain But im happy again How can this be Why did this feeling Creep on up on me
I cant be sure You never can But the signs i know Where does it come from Where does it go Why does it kill you Painful and slow Im out of the fire Im into your home
I wanna feel you feel you feel you Feel you again
It makes you a cheat It makes you a liar Step out of the fire It gives a spring in the step Smile on the face Sing like a bird Ya running the race again What makes you bad Makes you feel much better Than you ever can
You cant touch it see it breathe it Feel its all you can
It makes the world go round It makes you homeward bound It makes you want it more You look around every corner To see if theres more around
You wanna take it all its never quite enough You know ya need it all
You wanna feel it feel it feel it feel it again
It'll kill you in the end But not to have it You havent lived It will break you Make you Take you Hate you again From me to you From you to me Look out your window And you will feel it feel it feel it feel it more
Here it comes again That feeling again I cant sleep Sit and watch the rain Again watch the rain Again
그들의 디스코그래피 중에 단연 돋보이는 이번 앨범은 드러머인 Stuart Cable의 방출과 새로운 드러머인 Javier Weyer의 영입과 맞물려 작용한다는 점에 놀라움이 있다. 이 앨범은 그들의 어떤 앨범보다 트래드(Trad)하며 거친 에너지로 충만해 있다. 어느 시점부터 Stereophonics에 대한 대중이나 평자들의 감흥이 한 풀 꺾이기 시작했음에 동의하지 않을 사람이 있을까? 그것은 그들의 데뷔 앨범 『Word Gets Around』(1997)에 몰렸던 스포트라이트가 'Post 오아시스(혹은 블러) 찾기' 라는 미명 아래 조장된 미디어들의 농간이었음이 시간이 지날수록 확연히 드러났기 때문이다.(특히 이러한 밴드들 스스로, 자신들이 과대평가 받았음을 스스럼없이 수준이하의 결과물을 양산해 냄으로서...
