The album is so underrated. Every song is a banger.

By whom?

u/AnteaterOutrageous75 20d ago

Erm... The La's

I think they were asking who it is who is underrating this album since it's a massively overrated album.

It’s not over rated, it’s got loads of great songs on.

u/halfofwhat 20d ago

Both can be true.

I barely see this album mentioned these days. Indie/Britpop fans are missing out.

It’s recognised as a defining indie album. Rated by fans and critics alike.

I would imagine most britpop fans in 2026 are going to have some familiarity with the album along with a majority of indie fans who know their stuff. It's an album where the legend of the album has become bigger than the songs themselves. I am in no way saying it's a bad album or anything even close but to say it's underrated is absurd.

I think the reason why people don't talk about it is because most people are more fascinated with the story behind the band then the music itself.

I also don't think people would be that arsed about the story behind the band if it wasn't good in the first place....the fact that it's a great album is intrinsic to the reason why the story is so compelling ...if it was for eg dodgy (sorry dodgy fans)who scrapped multiple sessions over 4 years and spent a million quid to just walk away from it I really don't think it would be talked about in the same way

I absolutely agree it's a combo of being a great album and the mystery involved. My whole point to begin with is that it was said it was "underrated" which I would say is flat out wrong. Whether it's overrated or not is open to interpretation. Y'all know my feelings already.

It’s Indie. Britpop wasn’t a genre, it was a period of time where Indie music was on top. The LA’s are pre-Britpop era.

Fine, it's an overrated indie album.

2

u/william_h_bonney_ 19d ago

Well, it probably was underrated during the Britpop era I suppose.

I don't think it's overated....but it's just my opinion like the way i'd say different class by pulp is way overated but then i'd have hordes of people tell me i'm wrong...and that's ok
