I used to be the girl who found the groundbreaking music and introduced it to my friends and later to my younger brother and his friends, who took longer to come around to good taste in music! But the tables have turned at my ripe old age of 25. Sometimes too busy to follow developments in the music world, as much as I might love to, and one day my brother's friend approaches me to tell me about Mansun. Instantly, I am skeptical, with a strange slide show going through my head... Hanson, Marilyn Manson, Charles Manson, Shirley Manson... and I tell him so. He tells me not to worry, just listen to Mansun. I didn't listen. This was a few years ago. Then, as I used to do when I had nothing better to spend money on, I wandered through a music store, and I came across Mansun again. I decided, "What the heck?" and bought it... and immediately kicked myself for letting the intervening years of listening to this album slip away! With its symphonic opening and closing the album feels tight and complete... and resplendent. One songs blends seamlessly into the next... with some absolutely brilliant songs in between. "Wide Open Space" (be careful when you discuss this song with those who are not familiar with Mansun; they might think you are referring to the Dixie Chicks or something equally preposterous) is superb... "Naked Twister" is delightful, "Take It Easy, Chicken" is aggressive and entertaining... and my favourite here is the mellow but ever-engrossing "Mansun's Only Love Song". I also like the final track a lot... overall this is an exquisite effort. Not perfect, but I never tire of this album... definitely erased any imagery that might have been conjured by their name.
