5.0 out of 5 stars A really fun album from start to finish, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

Right Said Fred are a fun band and that's that. When I first bought this album I had very low expectations, I figured they would have one good song and that'd be it. But I was very suprised at how great this album is. It's now years later and I still find it in my rotation of favorite discs. Richard Fairbrass has a remarkably good voice. If you are in the mood for a fun dancy album, you'll love it. I will agree with everyone who says that "I'm Too Sexy" was overplayed, but the rest of the album is worth some play as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a pleasent surprise!, December 13, 2004

Like most people, I first purchased this album strictly for the "I'm Too Sexy" track. What I found when I played this album all thr way through was an interesting and satisfying mix of campy and serious lyrics that continues to captivate even after 12 years(!) of owning this album. The first song on the album, "A Love For All Seasons" starts out with some slick lyrics blended well to pleasent piano, which fades into a nice fusion of jazz organ with an up-beat early 90's drum-set. This song also features a well-placed bit of silence that makes the song. The next song that really does well to impress is the track "Swan", which again features a set of early 90's drum breaks and typical female vocal-set. This song brings back the memories of being alive in the early 90's. I rate this album very high, in fact, higher than any of the previous reviews... Why? Because this is an album that will grow on you, one that is reserved for days of driving in the summer, or evenings of work late at night. This is an album that draws up such a feeling of nostalgia that anyone in love with early 90's music should grab this one, and QUICKLY! Well worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has it really been 14 years?, May 14, 2006

This album is ancient now, but it doesn't feel that way - it as still catchy and enthusiastic as the day I bought. Many people don't like this album publically, but privately, they do - it's full of songs about the things people feel but never say out loud - no one ever admits to checking out their own reflection, but everyone does it. It's bright and happy. Put it on and sing along.
