Never got into this. Usually love Saint Etienne.

Ditto. The bonus disc is everything I want from a Saint Etienne album and I think as a stand-alone album it would be up there with any of their best if you made a couple of minor changes here and there. But I can't even listen to the main disc all the way through - it leaves me feeling queazy. Hate all that record store/vinyl fetish/I heart the 70s subject matter and Crackers' delivery and the way her voice is recorded is a major turn off. There are some nice musical bits but also lots of annoying sections. I think it's pretty poor overall.

Yeah I still love this. I don't rate it quite as highly as Turnpike House but it's up there. (Suede album is also great)

the more I think about it ,the more I feel W&M might actually be my favorite Saint Etienne album.
