SATT is a belter of an album, doesn't have the depth of meaning that some of their best output does of course (but then some people tend to over-egg that aspect of them in the first place!) but it's a fantastic album to sit back and take in - just a really good and consistent journey.

Yep, it's just a simple rock album. The production is ballsy, a lot of the songs are catchy. I really enjoy SATT as a whole.

Generation Terrorists, GATS (yes really) and Holy Bible all jostle for top position for me. Everything else is a long way behind.

Basically a poor man's Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.

I think I saw them live once.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

I enjoy it. Its a pretty solid album. Its sort of like a best of album but where most of the songs are not really quite the best of them.
