Grand Prix is the fifth studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub, released in May 1995 via Creation Records. The now-defunct Formula One racing team Simtek provided the car that appears on the front cover. Upon release, Grand Prix received almost unanimous critical acclaim. Writing for The Independent, Andy Gill called it "winsome and reflective", while Angela Lewis of the same publication described Grand Prix as a "breathtakingly superb (album) with finely honed dynamics, nagging harmonies and deceptively simple lyrics". In 2018, Q placed Grand Prix at number 72 in its list of the "100 Greatest British Albums Ever". It was voted number 624 in the 3rd edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2018). In 2022, it made number 72 on The Observer Music Monthly's top 100 British albums list. In 2013, NME ranked it at number 282 in its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
I don't know, nothing particularly against this but I thought it was a little dull. Pop basically, nothing much to differentiate it from a U.S. band, and the vocalist not particularly strong.
Power pop, jangle pop, Britpop, folk rock, country rock. Ni fu ni fa.
Well, this proposal went from more to less, as the tracks progressed it became boring because the songs "tasted" the same. 1.5 stars
