4 out of 5 stars Welcome Back.......2006-03-15

Great return effort for the Stuffies, new drummer and new bassist. A more mature sound but with all the wry humor and angst that we know and love. Buy it and you will Love it!

4 out of 5 stars Bass Thing's ghost.......2005-01-25

This record started out as an outlet for The Miles Hunt Club...and possibly should have stayed that way. The songs have Miles's wit and pop sensibility, but lack the shake your fillings out of your back teeth sound that the Wonder Stuff brought in the past. This is Milo and Malc making music for Milo and Malc. At any rate, a low rated Stuffie record is still better than most bands could bring on their best day. Hup!

Better get ready for a rematch...Miles has re-recorded half the album for a US release later in 2005.

4 out of 5 stars Another Gem.......2004-12-03

This CD picks up right where "Construction for the Modern Idiot" left off. The title track and "Better Get Ready for a Fist Fight" are instant classics. Not a bad track in the bunch. Miles Hunt's latest solo CD is great, too.

2 out of 5 stars lifeless effort.......2004-11-23

The fact that you know this album exists means you are a mile's junkie and will buy it. Don't have high expectations.

Some of the songs start off promising but don't build into anything. If this had been the original wonderstuff lineup, more effort would have been put into having distinctive basslines, drumbeats, choruses etc. Definitely not as good as any wonderstuff release or hairy on the inside.
