Playing Now:
Title: Elastica
Artist: Elastica
Released: 1995
Top Tracks: Stutter, Never Here
Cover Art Rating: 6/10. It's the band against a wall.
Twenty-three years ago, I remember Elastica getting a bit of shit from music critics for being nothing more than a Wire rip-off with a glammier facade; I thought that was overly harsh and unfair at the time, and I think that is true even more so now - I would argue that this is up there with Chairs Missing and Pink Flag as a front-to-back great album, and the last three tracks are its high point, flicking from dismissive sneer at less than sexually active boyfriend to a sad epic (by the album's standards, at least), to a perfectly silly throwaway about lubricant use or the lack of it.
