Fine debut. Listening to it a lot when it came out and re-listening now on Spotify, it still stands up. But which track is the best one from these fresh-faced Hounslow hitmakers?

Calling a track The Fountainhead...hmm.

I definitely hadn't heard of Ayn Rand back in '96. But HAD THEY???

people always slagged them off as second-tier Britpop but Expecting To Fly was decent and the songs were much better crafted than most other dreck out at the time. I'll need to listen again before I can vote, although I've a feeling Slight Return is the obvious highlight

voted bluetonic, and a good example of a band that put out a mission statement as first single and went downhill from there.

still listen to the third album which is a great example of post britpop weirdness from bands that realised their best days were behind them.

do we have a thread for "bands whose members all look like clones of each other"?

xp Bluetonic was their 3rd single though

tbh they were beyond dreadful live and I for some reason bought this album when it came out and thought it was rubbish. I think I liked Slight Return at the time.
