Synopsis

Album Description

Long awaited album from the scathingly witty British indie act. 'Escape From Rubbish Island' sees a return to the 4-piece guitar driven sound of their earlier, classic albums. This limited edition digipak includes a bonus disc with covers (Adam & The Ants, My Brother Jake, Whiskey In The Jar, Whole Wide World, & more) by frontman Miles Hunt. RL. 2004.

CD Reviews

Lifeless effort

kushvin | 11/22/2004

(2 out of 5 stars)

"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."

Bass Thing's ghost

Garrison Poppe | Bitburg, Germany | 01/24/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"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."

Welcome Back

"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!"
