The La's - The La's

Has a raggedness and a hint of fire along with its sparkly jangle and crunch that pushes the record to a level above most of this kind; there's much more to it than is suggested by "There She Goes", as deathless and great a song as that one is. That said, I don't think it's a great album but merely a rather good one, its finest moments (apart from aforementioned classic, "I Can't Sleep" and "Timeless Melody" stick out) frontloaded.
