Not sure what to make of this hearing it again. I quite enjoyed it, but it sounds fairly pedestrian now.Especially compared to what they did after this. At the time it seemed forward-thinking, with it’s idea of combining catchy rock riffs and dance beats. Some of it sounds like wallpaper now (Higher Than The Sun especially), but that may just be familiarity with the genre / style. Movin’, Come Together and Loaded all still sound great, although it seems telling that these are the ones that seems most easily traceable back to their Rolling Stones roots.

More of an Andrew Weatherall album than a stand alone Scream release. I was very naive in the early 90's. I missed out on all the best drugs and music. So this passed me by, apart from the singles. Loaded was all over the crappy student discos. I soon grew bored. This is a good album, but I'm not prepared to archive it in a Museum celebrating Buzzing Off Yer Tits. It's very dated, but still danceable. Don't Fight It, Feel It is the stand out for me.
