Album Notes & Community Reviews

Achieving widespread international success, Del Amitri's 'Twisted' perfectly balances the band's folk-rock origins with muscular, highly polished alternative pop production. The record is famously anchored by the massive hit single 'Roll to Me', a masterclass in concise power-pop melodicism. Justin Currie's deeply cynical yet highly romantic lyricism provides an engaging contrast to the bright, radio-friendly instrumentation.
