That album is still the band's best--a sly, effortless approximation of Big Star, capturing most of that band's charm with only a fraction of the emotional turmoil. Six years and a few music trends later, Teenage Fanclub were still writing and singing sunny, optimistic tunes that sound great blasting from a car stereo. Songs from Northern Britain doesn't match the band at its peak, but \"Ain't That Enough\" is the best Byrds knockoff released in years, and \"Start Again\" sounds chipper enough to make you believe no romance is too doomed to be saved. The band's three equal songwriters--Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley, and Gerry Love--are all incurable romantics. When written on paper, a lyric like \"can't feel my soul without you\" is easy to make fun of, but when their voices melt together with obvious feel-good sincerity, only a cynic could complain. --Keith Moerer      Product Description      Teenage Fan club's 4th major label release (and Columbia debut) is quintessential Fan club - but, with even more intense harmonies, sincerely articulated emotion and more heartbreaking melodies. The band arose from Scotland's strong indie-pop scene in the late '80s, inspired by Big Country, the Byrds and Neil Young. Their latest set offers a more mature and complete representation of the band's artistry and will appeal to fans of Americana\/rock music similar to Wilco, the Jayhawks and the Wallflowers.
