FURNITURE 'The Wrong People'
(Stiff SEEZ 64)

Oh gawd, we've gone and lost half the band in the mix, man. Look, there's my singing — what d'ya mean it's the same melody in every song? Oh, was that a bit of keyboard there? No, just a too loud bass drum, I think. Well, at least you can hear all the words. My mum says that's the trouble with most pop music these days.

Yes, I know they're all songs about the fact that girls hate me so much, but I can't help it, I can't, really. Maybe if all you lads and lasses went back in and recorded everything again and made it louder, then the album might have a bit of musical interest to it, at least. Hey, where's everybody gone?
