The original album received huge praise on release in October 1994 with NME writing; “A startling record; an album surrounded by the white heat of something close to genius”. Q wrote that the album “will be hailed in years to come as the crowning achievement of a line-up that reinvented English guitar rock n roll for the 1990’s”.
Since then the album has grown in stature to the degree that 2013 saw it voted in the top 40 of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time in NME.
