I'm gonna say that Heston will back me up that this is a great slice of 60s-inspired pop.

I liked it when it came out, was a sizeable hit over here. Haven't heard it for ages though, cheers. Any band whose main songwriter has the surname "Stanley" is always gonna be pretty good.

You just had to ruin things, huh?

I really didn't care for this when it came out, but it popped in my head earlier today—the boss was watching Coronation Street the other day and it was playing there, so I assume that's what planted the bug—and I think I dig it now.

I like Tears for Fears, but I think this song took their Beatles influence a little too literally.

That's what I like about it—it's wonderfully Beatlesesque in a way that Oasis never got. It sounds more inspired by the Beatles than sounding like a Beatles cover band.

I think Sowing is a bit bloated but still a terrific song. Much preferred their earlier stuff though.
