This is from 'Suicide Pact - You First', the band's first album after A&M collapsed and they were almost immediately shunted off to Mercury (who then dropped them almost as immediately). The whole album is pretty much a 'fuck you' to the whole corporate side of music, and this sums it all up, pretty much. The riff to this is so great, it really deserves to be up there with 'Iron Man', 'Smoke On The Water' et al. And it has a cello solo, too!
Mind you, the live version on the 'Scopophobia' DVD is even better. And on that, Andy Cairns makes a point of talking about boybands (particularly in Ireland and Northern Ireland) before starting it. Amazing stuff, buy the DVD now! You will not be disappointed.
