Essential Mental

"This is the best album by Mental As Anything, a great new wave band that has been basically overlooked. This is sad, because they write fun, hook filled tunes with an edge of madness. They are similar to Men At Work or even Nick Lowe. The best track on the album is the smooth, quirky Bus Ride, but all the tracks are winners. It will make you think of summer holidays of times past."
Mostly boppy pop. Easy, fun listening

"Surf and mull and sex and fun sums this cd up. I think they've had too much of all of the above. An oldy that I'll still drag out of the collection to relive the era. (Surfing on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia). Have a listen, you'll probably like it."
