Rediscovered the Associates a few weeks ago and fell back in love with this album. I also really enjoy Billy Mackenzie's solo work on Satellite Life. My favorite song as of lately has been 'Tell Me Easter's on Friday', incredibly haunting and beautiful.
Me and my brother run a lot of errands together while listening to music, and this album has been our favorite (introduced by me; giving myself a pat on the back!) I think we unanimously agreed that 'Stepchild' is the best song, along with the beautifully sentimental 'Rock Star'.
A happier album to try and get myself out of my self-induced funk. I can listen to 'Getting Away with It' on repeat all day long, no matter the mood or the weather. Also, the fact that we have Sumner and Tennant on vocals on this track?!
You will never see me partaking in the Chris versus Kelli discourse surrounding who was the better vocalist for Sneaker Pimps. In my mind, they both provided two greatly distinct moods. I saw a funny comment once that said that Chris could do '6 Underground', but Kelli could never do 'Cute Sushi Lunches', which I found to be rather true lol. However, I have heard Chris' rendition of the former, and Kelli is definitely the superior man for the job. If you prefer Kelli's vocals, please check out her solo projects, they are severely underrated. I've been crying a lot to the song 'Groupie', don't ask me why.
